Sunday Reading - Underwater Kingdoms

Underwater Kingdoms   Coral reefs are underwater ecosystems made from the skeletons of hard coral colonies. Each colony is composed of multiple polyps called corals—animals with tentacles around a mouth at one end and sac-like bodies at the other that attach to a surface and secrete calcium carbonate for protection. Over thousands of years, these secretions accumulate to form habitats that support about 25% of marine species, even though they cover less than 1% of the ocean floor. >  The first coral reefs formed hundreds of millions of years ago.

Crews Shares Vision For NCUA, Refuses To Enter Board Battle

By Ray Birch WASHINGTON—NCUA nominee John Crews used his Senate Banking Committee confirmation hearing Thursday to lay out an agenda centered on reducing regulatory burden for smaller credit unions, encouraging technological innovation and reviving the formation of new credit unions, while declining to weigh in on the legality of the NCUA's current one-member board because of pending litigation. Although much of the hearing was dominated by sharp questioning of fellow nominee Christopher Phelan over the economy, inflation, tax policy and President Trump's agenda, Crews' exchanges with senators offered insights into how he might approach regulating the credit union system if confirmed. The hearing proceeded despite questions on Capitol Hill over whether it would even take place following Wednesday's political turmoil surrounding President Trump's demand that Congress pass the SAVE America Act before he signs bipartisan housing legislation and the Senate's decisio...

  ALEXANDRIA, Va.—An update on NCUA’s ongoing Deregulation Project was provided during the Thursday board meeting. Offering the update was Amanda Parkhill, acting director of the agency’s Office of Examination and Insurance.“There’s a lot going on and we anticipate over 50 rulemaking guidance and policy actions as a result of the deregulation project and other efforts taken to reduce burden and streamline processes,” said Parkhill. “These cover a wide variety of topics from new,   innovative technology to long standing anti money laundering and consumer compliance requirements.

DC Round-Up

  HUD Makes ACU-Requested Change; Hearing on Payments Today; CU-Backed Candidate Wins in Utah WASHINGTON–The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has updated Federal Housing Administration (FHA) quality control requirements to allow greater flexibility and alternatives to appraisal field reviews in a change that had been requested earlier by a coalition of 10 trade groups, including America’s Credit Unions .  The new provisions took effect immediately when released in a Mortgagee Letter on June 23, . According to ACU, the change removes the requirement for mortgage lenders, including credit unions, to obtain appraisal field reviews on at least 10% of origination and underwriting quality control reviews.  “The change will make field reviews optional for appraisal quality control, maintain FHA’s core appraisal compliance framework, and give lenders the ability to tailor their review methods on a case-by-case-specific risk,” America’s Credit Unions said. “The r...

ATMs and the Windows 11 Software Upgrade

ATMs and the Windows 11 Software Upgrade Joe Woods, SVP Marketing & Partnerships Dolphin Debit Access There is a lot of information and misinformation circulating regarding the required Windows 11 software. Windows 10 is sunsetting and therefore Windows 11 is now the new operating system of choice moving forward. Many of us may not realize, however, that there are multiple versions of Windows 10. These different versions have different sunset dates, different options for extended service plans as well as different applications. Your ATM’s will be required to upgrade to Windows 11 at some point in the near future. However, that future could be four months away or forty months away. And if costs are similar to the Windows 10 upgrade, you could be spending $5,000-$14,000 per ATM for the upgrade.   To figure out what is best for you, you need to examine your ATM fleet. Several factors need to be considered for this change from Win10 to Win11. Making a rash decision to per...

Healthcare Fraud Sweep

  The Justice Department has charged 455 defendants across 45 states and US territories in a $6.5B healthcare fraud crackdown , which officials described as the largest coordinated enforcement action in its history and the second-largest amount ever charged in a single operation (behind last year’s $14.6B operation). Authorities say the schemes targeted Medicare, Medicaid, and other healthcare programs through fraudulent billing, illegal kickbacks, opioid distribution, and telemedicine operations. Those charged include 90 licensed medical professionals, while 295 defendants are tied to over $500M in false Medicaid claims. Investigators also seized more than $127M in cash, vehicles, jewelry, and other assets tied to the alleged fraud. The two-week crackdown comes amid the Trump administration’s antifraud push, with expanded data-sharing efforts across agencies (scroll to see coordinated effort ).

NCUA Tells FICUs Crypto Trading is OK — If Big Exchanges Provide the Service

When it comes to reading between the lines of financial regulators’ advisory letters, tone matters. Take last week’s letter from the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) which gave the federally insured credit unions (FICUs) it oversees permission to partner with digital asset providers to allow retail customers to buy, sell and trade in cryptocurrencies. Now compare it to the one issued by Comptroller of the Currency Michael Hsu’s agency to the national banks and federal savings associations it regulates a month earlier. On the surface, both said much the same thing: Financial institutions can provide cryptocurrency services (albeit with some notable differences: the OCC’s letter dealt with more back-end services, including custody services as well as holding and using dollar-pegged stablecoins for transaction settlement). Neither was enthusiastic. The NCUA’s letter said it “does not prohibit FICUs from establishing these relationships” — which is not as enthusiastic as “are a...

The ‘Vexing’ Challenge in Front of the Fed

WASHINGTON–Wages, prices and consumer spending all increased over the year ending in June, according to new government data, creating a challenge for economists and the Fed as they seek to interpret what all the numbers mean and how to best move forward. “The latest government data…showed evidence that the economy remains resilient amid fear of a recession, but also that inflation is likely to remain a vexing problem for the Federal Reserve,” noted the New York Times in its analysis. As CUToday.info reported, the new data show consumer prices were up 6.8% through June, according to Personal Consumption Expenditures  measure. That was the fastest pace since 1982, the government said. Yet as quickly as prices have increased, consumer spending ro...
