NCUA Letter to Credit Unions Reminds that 18% Interest Rate Ceiling Has Been Extended

The agency noted that the Federal Credit Union Act generally limits federal credit unions to a 15% interest rate ceiling on loans.

“However, the NCUA board may establish a temporary, higher rate for up to 18 months after considering certain statutory criteria,” said the agency.

The previously approved 18%  interest rate ceiling had been set to expire on Sept. 10, 2024.

The July NCUA board action extends the temporary 18% interest rate ceiling through March 10, 2026.
