What’s New In The 5300 Call Report? Major revisions to the call report take effect in the first quarter of 2022. Here’s what you need to know.

Callahan's Creditunions.com 

The NCUA approved major revisions to the 5300 Call Report that take effect in the first quarter of 2022. These changes involve substantial reorganization and restructuring of most sections of the call report, including the removal, addition, and modification of more than 1,000 combined account codes.

The changes are part of the Call Report Modernization Project that began in 2016. The project aims to reduce the reporting burden for credit unions by:

  • Streamlining the call report process.
  • Reorganizing and improving data collection.
  • Accommodating the complex credit union leverage ratio (CCULR) and the risk-based capital (RBC) schedule.

CCULR Versus RBC? Which One Is Right?

Credit unions with less than $500 million in assets are considered non-complex credit unions. The regulatory capitalization rules for these credit unions remain unchanged.

Credit unions with more than $500 million in assets are considered complex credit unions. They must choose between regulatory capitalization formulas — CCULR and RBC.

Complex Credit Union Leverage Ratio (CCULR)

The CCULR was designed to provide a simpler measure of capital adequacy for complex credit unions. If an institution meets the qualifications listed below, it may elect to use the CCULR.

CCULR qualification criteria include:

  • A net worth ratio of 9% or greater.
  • Off-balance sheet exposures of less than 25% of total assets.
  • Trading assets and liabilities less than 5% of total assets.
  • Goodwill and other intangible assets less than 2% of total assets.

If  an institution qualifies for and elects the CCULR method, it does not have to complete the RBC schedule.

Risk-Based Capital (RBC)

If an institution has more than $500 million in assets and does not qualify for CCULR or elects not to use the CCULR option, it must complete the more complex RBC schedule on pages 24-28 of the new call report.

A credit union is considered “well-capitalized” if it uses the CCULR method or has an RBC ratio higher than 10%.

Of note: Complex credit unions with more than $500 million in assets are now allowed to issue secondary capital as subordinated debt and count this value toward their RBC calculation. Secondary capital issuance was previously limited only to credit unions with a low-income designation.

  Notable Changes To The First Quarter Call Report

The call report changes that took effect between the fourth quarter of 2021 and the first quarter of 2022 are substantial and represent the bulk of the Call Report Modernization Project.

The major areas of change include:

  • Expanding information on foreclosed and repossessed assets.
  • Removing commercial loans from the real estate lending detail.
  • Reducing delinquency and charge-off categories and aligning them with loan types.
  • Adjusting indirect loan and participation reporting requirements.
  • Restructuring categories for investment portfolio reporting.
  • Providing new information on off-balance sheet exposures.
  • Adding CCULR and RBC calculation schedules.

Many of these changes involve separating, offering additional detail, and aligning information related to commercial lending.

In addition to these changes, the NCUA reorganized much of the call report. Many schedules moved to new pages and areas, although the account codes themselves remain unchanged.

Will This Impact Performance Analysis?

Most of the commonly used account codes in Callahan & Associates’ software programs remain unchanged. Additionally, Callahan is working to ensure all pre-built displays and formulas are minimally affected by the call report changes.

However, not all displays will be cleanly updated. For account codes that have been removed entirely, displays containing them might be retired or relocated. Some displays will no longer be able to accurately trend across time periods pre-and-post these changes.

Reporting areas that are unchanged or insignificantly changed from a reporting standpoint include:

  • Top level balance sheet items like assets, loans, shares, and all major loan and share categories.
  • Income statement and earnings metrics.
  • Commercial lending categories.

Displays related to the following categories might be relocated, retired, or trend inconsistently between the fourth quarter of 2021 and the first quarter of 2022.

  • Detailed mortgage information — originations, fixed/adjustable/balloon, etc.
  • Delinquency and charge-offs — commercial loans are now broken out separately by loan type.
  • Investment portfolios — investment categories have adjusted and been regrouped.

Additions to the 5300 Call Report provide new insights for displays. These include:

  • Indirect lending and participation breakdowns.
  • Foreclosed asset breakdowns.
  • Pullable CCULR and RBC ratios for all complex credit unions.

Callahan understands these changes can be overwhelming. If you have questions or need assistance, reach out to analystsupport@callahan.com or contact Callahan through the chat feature within Peer Classic or Peer+.

Reuters: Trump Regulators Launch Biggest Bank Oversight Overhaul Since 2008

Is NCUA next? WASHINGTON—Federal banking regulators under President Trump are undertaking what Reuters described as the most significant overhaul of bank supervision since the 2008 financial crisis, shifting examiner focus away from process and compliance issues and toward what agencies consider “material” financial risks. According to Reuters, the Federal Reserve, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. have directed examiners to concentrate on risks that pose direct threats to a bank’s safety and soundness, rather than on paperwork deficiencies, governance concerns or procedural issues that do not immediately affect financial stability. Reuters reported that regulators have also moved away from evaluating banks based on “reputational risk,” a supervisory concept long criticized by banks as overly subjective. The change follows complaints from President Trump and others that financial institutions have used reputational-risk considerations...

Sunday Reading - Changing the Map

  Changing the Map     Redistricting, explained Congressional redistricting is the process by which states redraw electoral district boundaries   that determine representation in the US House of Representatives. The Constitution, federal law, and court rulings require districts to have roughly equal populations, avoid discrimination against racial or language minorities, and, in most states, be geographically contiguous. For most of American history, redistricting has followed a predictable cycle, occurring every 10 years after the census.   Gerrymandering is the deliberate manipulation of district boundaries to advantage one political party. Common tactics  by both major American political parties include packing opposition voters i...

Proposed FOM changes would streamline ability to reach underserved

February 16, 2023 The NCUA Board proposed chartering and field-of-membership changes and issued its final cyber incident reporting rule at its Thursday meeting. The board also heard a quarterly update on the share insurance fund, which noted an increase in the fund's equity ratio to 1.30%." The proposal would amend the chartering and FOM rules through nine changes to enhance consumer access to financial services, especially in low- and moderate-income communities while reducing duplicative or unnecessary paperwork and administrative requirements. “Getting credit union services to more communities across the country is important to CUNA, state leagues and the credit unions we serve, and making that easier to achieve has a big impact on access,” said CUNA Deputy Chief Advocacy Officer Jason Stverak. “While we need to review the proposal in detail, we thank the NCUA board for working to streamline the ability of credit un...

NCUA Board Approves Final Rule on Dependent Care and Board Member Reimbursement

Alexandria, VA (June 8, 2026) ― The National Credit Union Administration today issued a final rule for Dependent Care and Board Member Reimbursement. The NCUA Board amended its regulations concerning the reimbursement of reasonable expenses for federal credit union officials to remove potential barriers to volunteer service. This final rule provides flexibility for a federal credit union’s board to adopt more family-friendly policies tailored to its size, region, and operations. Previously, dependent care costs had not been considered reasonable expenses under NCUA regulation 12 C.F.R. 701.33.  The final rule applies to all federal credit unions, including corporate federal credit unions. It will not apply to federally insured, state-chartered credit unions, which remain subject to state law. The final rule is effective 30 days from the date of publication in the Federal Register and takes into consideration public comments received from the proposed rule that was issued on Januar...

Cheer Up and Change: "Wait and see is not a plan."

I posted this a year ago and thought I would bring it back to see if any of his predictions came true. Take a look and tell us what you think. Grant Sheehan CEO Cheer Up and Change: The Demographic Mandate At a conference I recently attended Monday morning started off with a great session by demographer and futurist Ken Gronbach, who laid out his predictions on where we’re going and what we can expect as demographics change. I was pleasantly surprised that the future isn’t sounding as bleak as the news might have you believe. Gronbach offered lots of predictions for where our society and our world is headed. His predictions were given with a purpose: To help associations build their vision and plan for the future. As Gronbach stressed,  "Wait and see is not a plan." I’ve decided to arrange this recap into a list of my takeaways rather than a narrative recap. I hope you get as much out of this information as I did! Things to Expect: Big Changes in Retail : Gronbach ...

And The Forecast For 2017 Is?

Steven Rick who will be speaking to us in Charlotte, has made the following predictions for 2017. MADISON, Wis. – Increases in housing construction and rising oil prices will drive higher economic growth higher next year, while auto sales should remain robust, according to CUNA Mutual’s chief economist. Steven Rick said credit unions next year can expect a “slight acceleration” in the economy with no signs of a recession until late 2018—good news for CUs looking to expand their reach and services, he said. Rick is further predicting the Fed will boost rates once this year and three times in 2017. “We’re forecasting a modest acceleration in economic growth to 2.4% in 2017 from this year’s very slow 1.6%,” Rick told attendees of CUNA Mutual Group’s seventh annual Discovery Conference. “An inventory correction, reduced energy sector investment due to falling oil prices, and the negative impact of the rising dollar on our exports all contributed to the U.S. economy’s slower gro...

Mortgage Rates Decline to Their Lowest Levels Since April

WASHINGTON–Mortgage rates fell last week to their lowest level since early April. According to Freddie Mac, the standard 30-year fixed-rate mortgage averaged 6.87% in the week ending June 20, which was down from the prior week’s 6.95% average and marks the third consecutive weekly decline. Rates are down from a 2024 peak of 7.22%. “Mortgage rates fell for the third straight week following signs of cooling inflation and market expectations of a future Federal Reserve rate cut,” Sam Khater, Freddie Mac’s chief economist, said in a statement. “These lower mortgage rates coupled with the gradually improving housing supply bodes well for the housing market.” Most economists and forecasters expect rates ...

IRS Reporting Requirement Has Turned Into Uphill Battle for CUs

  It’s in. It’s out. It’s in again. On Thursday, NAFCU, CUNA and more than 100 associations sent a letter to all members of the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate asking them to reject a proposed IRS reporting requirement that credit union trades have been pushing back against since July . The proposed IRS reporting requirement would require financial institutions, including credit unions, to report the inflows and outflows of personal and business accounts, as well as transfers between accounts of the same owner, if it is more than $600 per year. The proposal found new life inside the House version of the budget reconciliation bill after it was rejected in the version approved by the House Ways and Means Committee last month. On Tuesday, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said the IRS reporting requirement would be included in the House version of the bill. CUNA, NAFCU and other organizations voiced their objections to the proposal in a joint letter. While the l...
