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+.

Growing Your Credit Union Without Expanding Your FOM

For many firefighter and other credit union primarly serving first responders, growth often feels tied to one big decision: expanding the Field of Membership (FOM). But what if you didn’t have to? What if growth could come from within —by deepening relationships, increasing engagement, and capturing more of the financial lives of the members you already serve? The truth is: it can. But it requires a shift in strategy. Rethinking What “Growth” Really Means Most institutions define growth as adding more members. But for single-sponsor credit unions, especially those serving first responders, a more powerful definition is: Growth = more value per member Many members only use one or two products—often a checking account and maybe an auto loan. Meanwhile, larger banks capture mortgages, credit cards, and investments. The opportunity isn’t just new members. It’s: More products per member Higher balances per relationship Greater share of wallet Your Biggest Advantage: The First Responder Life...

When Vendors Price for Giants

 Grant Sheehan CCUE | CEO Opinion: When Vendors Price for Giants, They Shrink the Future of Small Credit Unions ! There’s a quiet squeeze happening in the credit union industry, and it’s not coming from regulators or competition from big banks. It’s coming from the very vendors that claim to support the ecosystem. For small credit unions, the problem is increasingly simple and factual: the tools required to compete with digital banking platforms, fraud systems, compliance software, analytics, and payments infrastructure are priced for institutions ten or even 100 times their size. The result is a market where access to essential services is determined not by mission or member need, but by asset size. This isn’t just inconvenient. It’s structurally threatening. Vendors often defend their pricing models as a reflection of complexity or scale. Larger credit unions have more users, more transactions, more integrations, so they pay more, and that seems fair on the surface. But t...

Fed still holds off on rate increase | 2015-07-30 | CUNA News

  WASHINGTON (7/30/15)--Citing “moderate” economic expansion, the Federal Open Market Committee continues to do “a balancing act,” said CUNA Senior Economist Perc Pineda. The Federal Reserve’s monetary policy-making body completed its meeting Wednesday without edging up the federal funds interest rate. Fed Chair Janet Yellen has said the committee will opt for an interest-rate increase sometime this fall. The July meeting, however, was not the time. “The Federal Reserve continues to do a balancing act: the U.S. economy is not in a recession and definitely not overheating,” Pineda told News Now . “Changes in monetary policy after all are meant to influence an underperforming or an overheating economy.” Household spending growth has been moderate, and housing has shown additional improvement, the committee said. Labor conditions continue to improve with declining unemployment and solid job gains. Inflation is anticipated to remain near its recent low level in the near term,...

Don't say NO to your members anymore!

Does the following scenario occur at your credit union? If it does, we have a solution for you! A member comes in into your credit union and wants to know if you will loan them a couple of hundred thousand $$$ to buy a building, or can you loan him some seed money to start a new business or purchase equipment for the company they currently own, and you say,  “the credit union doesn't do those kinds of loans”.  Does this sound familiar? How many times do you and your staff say NO and literally tell a member to  “go down the street or go somewhere else” ?  Well, now, you have another option.   CU First Responders Finance (CUFR) CU First Responders Finance, LLC (CUFR)  is a partnership between the National Council of Firefighter Credit Unions, Inc.   (NCOFCU) , and Biz Lending & Insurance Center, Inc. to provide business lending origination programs to NCOFCU member credit unions.

Credit Union Lending Picks Up in Most Areas

Credit unions were increasing their portfolios in most areas in June, except business lending and new car loans, where portfolios fell for the 24th month in a row after seasonal adjustments, according to a CUNA Mutual Group report released Tuesday. The Madison, Wis., trade group’s Credit Union Trends Report showed new auto loan balances were $141 billion on June 30, falling at a 3.3% seasonally adjusted, annualized rate from May to June, part of the May-through-October peak car-buying season. Credit unions held $252.4 billion in used car loans on June 30, up 1.2% from May without seasonal adjustments. The Trends Report made slight adjustments to CUNA’s Monthly Credit Union Estimates released earlier in the month. In this case, its changes allowed total auto loan balances to show a slight 0.3% un-adjusted May-to-June gain, compared to being flat in the CUNA report. Steve Rick, chief economist for CUNA Mutual Group and the report’s author, said gains were stronger in other areas, includ...

Sunday Reading - How were the National Parks started?

  America's 'Best Idea'       How were the National Parks started? America's National Park System includes roughly 85 million acres of US territory, equal to the size of Germany, set aside by federal law for preservation. There are 63 areas officially designated as national parks—including the Grand Canyon, the Great Smoky Mountains, and Acadia—and more than 400 additional smaller units ( see map ). In 1872, Yellowstone was established   as the first national park dedicated to public enjoyment and recreation, though its foundation also  displaced several Native American tribes . By 1916, the growing system required the creation of the National Park Service to preserve its lands for future generations. Eventually, hunting and logging were banned in the parks, though regulated extractive activity is still permitted in nati...
