Overdrafts: Linked Accounts and Regulation D - Part 2

We received some great feedback on Part 1 of Linked Accounts and Regulation D - including some great questions. Let's delve into this area a bit more - including a preliminary question.   Treating Savings Accounts as Transaction Accounts. A couple of commenters asked if their credit unions could treat their savings accounts as transaction accounts - and reserve accordingly. Yes, credit unions do have the ability to treat their savings accounts as transactions accounts and allow unlimited transactions from those accounts.  ****Read More; http://nafcucomplianceblog.typepad.com/nafcu_weblog/2012/03/overdrafts-linked-accounts-and-regulation-d-part-2.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+typepad%2Fnafcucomplianceblog%2Fnafcu_weblog+%28NAFCU+Compliance+Blog%29&utm_content=Google+Reader

Sunday Reading - What's the point of a consumer electronics show?

  What's the point of a consumer electronics show? Consumer electronics shows are large convention-type events where companies debut new technologies and products. The largest and most notable shows are CES in Las Vegas, a trade show every January, and IFA Berlin, which takes place annually in September. The events have historically introduced novel, cutting-edge products that later became household standards, like HDTVs, VCRs, DVDs, and gaming consoles ( see list ).   Over time, these shows evolved from product showcases ( see last year's coolest gadgets ) into complex industry ecosystems, serving as a meeting ground for startups, multinational technology companies, investors, and the media. Hardware launches, keynote speeches, and...

  Trump’s megabill will bring sweeping changes for household finances. President  Donald Trump  signed his “one big beautiful” tax-and-spending package on July 4 — legislation that will bring sweeping changes to Americans’ finances.  After the  Senate passed its version  on July 1, the House Republicans on July 3  voted to approve  the multi-trillion-dollar domestic policy legislation and send it to Trump’s desk for signature. The final bill makes permanent Trump’s  2017 tax cuts  while adding new relief, including a senior “bonus” to  offset Social Security taxes  and a  bigger state and local tax deduction . The plan also has tax breaks for  tip income , overtime pay and  auto loans , among other provisions.  The GOP’s marquee legislation will also enact deep spending cuts to social safety net programs such as  Medicaid  and food stamp benefits,  end tax credits tied to clean energy  an...

NEW YORK—As credit unions look to the new year, forecasters heading into 2026 see the U.S. economy cooling but not collapsing, with slower job growth, easing inflation and modest interest-rate cuts forming the backbone of a “soft-landing” outlook that still hinges on big unknowns: trade policy, geopolitics, fiscal decisions in Washington and whether households keep spending after several years of higher prices.

CO-CEOs 1 Small CU's Succession Planning Solution

By Ray Birch ROANOKE, Va.—Is an answer to the succession planning problem at small credit unions creating "co-CEO" positions? One $103-million credit union that has two chief executive officers believes it is a solution for a number of small shops that lack a succession plan for their leader. Roanoke Valley Community CU is led by Pam Duke and Lauren Whitmire. The co-bosses spoke with CUToday.info about how having a small team leading the organization has made it more successful and the job of running the show easier. "As I am heading towards retirement, I wanted to make sure we had a succession plan in place for this credit union," said Duke, who is 61. "In the credit union movement, generally, it's difficult to replace CEOs at small credit unions. I've been here 16 years, and Lauren has been here 14. We wanted to make sure this credit union continues on, even if she or I would leave." Duke explained that her focus at RVCU is on the lending side, o...

US Fed lifts rates by 50 basis points

Recent indicators point to modest growth in spending and production. Job gains have been robust in recent months, and the unemployment rate has remained low. Inflation remains elevated, reflecting supply and demand imbalances related to the pandemic, higher food and energy prices, and broader price pressures. Russia's war against Ukraine is causing tremendous human and economic hardship. The war and related events are contributing to upward pressure on inflation and are weighing on global economic activity. The Committee is highly attentive to inflation risks. The Committee seeks to achieve maximum employment and inflation at the rate of 2 percent over the longer run. In support of these goals, the Committee decided to raise the target range for the federal funds rate to 4-1/4 to 4-1/2 percent. The Committee anticipates that ongoing increases in the target range will be appropriate in order to attain a stance of monetary policy that is sufficiently restrictive to return inflation t...
