The NCUA Board (Board) is issuing a final rule to require federally insured credit unions (FICUs) with less than $50 million in assets to maintain a basic written policy that provides a credit union board-approved framework for managing liquidity and a list of contingent liquidity sources that can be employed under adverse circumstances. The rule requires FICUs with assets of $50 million or more to have a contingency funding plan that clearly sets out strategies for addressing liquidity shortfalls in emergency situations. Finally, the rule requires FICUs with assets of $250 million or more to have access to a backup federal liquidity source for emergency situations.
