Letter to Credit Unions Says NCUA Exam Modernization Now Underway

ALEXANDRIA, Va.—NCUA has sent a Letter to Credit Unions (21-CU-08) detailing the agency's transition to modernized systems. The agency said it will begin this transition in August.

NCUA’s efforts will include the implementation of emerging and secure technology that supports the NCUA’s examination, data collection, field of membership, and reporting efforts.

“These new applications will streamline processes and procedures and provide significant benefits to credit union users,” NCUA said.

Key areas affected:
  • NCUA Connect
  • Admin Portal
  • Consumer Access Process and Reporting Information System (CAPRIS)1
  • Modern Examination & Risk Identification Tool (MERIT)
  • Data Exchange Application (DEXA)

Training Available

To prepare credit unions for the transition to these new systems, NCUA said it will provide credit union user training through various avenues, including:
  • A self-paced training curriculum covering MERIT functionality available through the NCUA’s Learning Management Service
  • An instructional guide describing the Admin Portal functionality to manage users for your credit union and explaining how to access NCUA Connect
  • User guides, FAQs, and support materials for MERIT and DEXA can be found at: Enterprise Solution Modernization (ESM) Program | National Credit Union Administration (ncua.gov)
  • A CAPRIS Federal Credit Union Users Guide with detailed steps to access and use the system will be posted on the NCUA’s website. (The guide will also be available in the Help section of the CAPRIS application)
  • Live webinars with question and answer sessions, available by registration. More details about training sessions for MERIT and CAPRIS and how to view them will be announced as soon as they are available, NCUA said

What Does PTSD in a Firefighter Look Like? A New Brain Scan Can Show You

Link Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is often described as one of the invisible scars that firefighters and others accumulate after years of dealing with trauma in their jobs. Now the scars are invisible no longer. A new tool—the SPECT scan—is offering a new way for firefighters and others with PTSD to visualize their injuries. SPECT stands for single photon emission computed tomography, and it creates 3-D scans of the patient’s brain that look at blood flow and brain activity, KTLA reports. Those scans can then be used to generate a treatment plan tailored to the specific patient based on the visual effects of PTSD. Retired Firefighter-Paramedic Matthew Fiorenza, a PTSD sufferer, told the station that the scans also help make the illness more tangible. “Looking at a picture of my brain, it just took the stigma out of it,” he told KTLA. “It’s like, okay, I’m not crazy.”

Historically, tariffs have served as a primary source of revenue and a means to protect domestic industries, as they make foreign products more expensive, encouraging consumers to purchase locally produced goods.

Tariffs can be specific (a fixed fee per unit) or ad valorem (a percentage of the item's value). Purpose Economically, tariffs aim to protect domestic industries, generate government revenue, and influence trade policy. By imposing taxes on imported goods —wh...

Advice On Winning Over Gen Z In ’25

NEW YORK—As 2025 approaches the close of Q1, how can credit unions win over Gen Z? By tailoring credit rewards for a digital-first generation, a new report recommends. Gen Z is reshaping the workforce and redefining financial behaviors. As of 2024, this generation is poised to surpass Baby Boomers in workforce size and will make up 30% of the workforce by 2030. This rapid growth presents a major opportunity for financial institutions to tap into a younger, digitally native audience with distinct spending habits and financial needs, emphasized a GlobalData report authored by Zachary Johnson, specialist, campaign execution & strategy, financial services at VDX.tv. “Unlike previous generations, Gen Z’s economic journey has been shaped by inflation and delayed career starts due to the pandemic and skyrocketing living costs. These factors have made them highly dependent on credit, with Gen Zers being 23% more likely to own a credit card than Millennials at the same age, and carrying...
