Before You Push Send!

  The Art of Thoughtful Discourse in a Noisy World In an era where opinions flood every corner of social media, news platforms, and casual conversations, the sheer volume of voices can be both inspiring and overwhelming. Everyone seems to have something to say, and while it's a beautiful thing to witness such diverse perspectives, it raises an important question: how can we ensure that our contributions are meaningful and resonate with others?

WASHINGTON–Credit unions, which often talk about the need for younger members, will now have the opportunity to compete in a new arena for the youngest members of all, as the recently passed reconciliation bill includes language creating and funding for a new savings account for children, with a one-time deposit of $1,000 from the federal government for those born in 2025 through 2028. The new accounts are expected to create a new battleground of competition for credit unions as every provider from banks to fintechs to others seeks to capture the accounts.  The final version of the bill makes the tax-free savings accounts for minors, called Trump accounts, a form of individual retirement account (IRA) under Sec. 408(a), according to the Journal of Accountancy.

The NCUA divided its regulations into 10 categories and plans to publish four  Federal Register  documents in total, each requesting comment on multiple categories.
