REQUIRED INFORMATION FOR CREDIT UNION BOARD CHAIRMEN AND MANAGEMENT
Board Approves Proposed Rule to Allow Exemptions from SAR Requirements
ALEXANDRIA, Va. (Dec. 23, 2020) – The National Credit Union Administration Board unanimously approved, by notation vote, a notice of proposed rulemaking (opens new window) that would amend the agency’s Suspicious Activity Report (SAR) regulation.
The proposed regulation would permit the NCUA to issue, on a case-by-case basis, exemptions from SAR filing requirements to federally insured credit unions, when the exemption is consistent with safe and sound practices and can improve the effectiveness and efficiency of Bank Secrecy Act reporting. The proposed rule would also make it possible for the NCUA to grant exemptions, in conjunction with the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, to federally insured credit unions that develop innovative solutions to meet Bank Secrecy Act requirements.
The NCUA expects these amendments will reduce regulatory burdens on federally insured credit unions and encourage technological innovation within the credit union system.
These proposed changes are part of a coordinated effort between the NCUA, FinCEN, and the federal banking agencies to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of Bank Secrecy Act compliance programs and facilitate greater innovation within the banking sector.
Comments on the proposed rule (opens new window) will be accepted for 30 days after publication in the Federal Register.
“Celebrating 25 Years of Service: Unite, Ignite, and Empower” “We train and support volunteer leaders of credit unions serving first responders to run stronger, more effective institutions.” “Great things happen when credit unions serving first responders come together. Our face-to-face and on-line interaction is the platform where collaboration begins, and GREAT ideas are generated.”
