NCUA streamlines part of underserved area application process
ALEXANDRIA, VA (June 30, 2022) — Applying to add an underserved area has become simpler.
Effective immediately, multiple common bond federal credit unions submitting underserved area applications can list the areas they want to serve by census tracts, along with the year the census tract was in effect.
The NCUA’s prior policy required multiple common bond federal credit unions to formally list each area’s street boundaries. The agency recognizes technical advances that make it easier for credit unions to geocode addresses for potential members.
