NCUA approves $160M NCUSIF distribution starting 2Q 2019

The NCUA board Thursday approved a $160.1 million equity distribution from the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund that will be paid to eligible credit unions in the second quarter of 2019. This is the second such distribution from the NCUA, the first, in the amount of $735.7 million, went to credit unions starting in July 2018.

CUNA was the only national credit union trade association to support NCUA closing the Temporary Corporate Credit Union Stabilization Fund in 2017, which led to last year’s distributions.

“We commend NCUA for its prudent stewardship of credit union funds and for recognizing that this money could be best put to use serving credit union members around the country,” said CUNA President/CEO Jim Nussle. “CUNA was the only national credit union trade association advocating for distributions because we know credit unions will put these funds to work for their members.”
