Federal Credit Union Bylaws

This section of the web site contains the NCUA Board’s most recent version of the Federal Credit Union Bylaws, which has been in effect since November 30, 2007, as well as previous versions of bylaws and bylaw amendments.  Unless adopted by a federal credit union before November 30, 2007, all prior versions of the Federal Credit Union Bylaws are no longer in effect. Federal credit unions that have not adopted the 2007 bylaws should consult the Introduction for guidance on adopting the revised bylaws in their entirety, adopting portions of the revised bylaws or adopting bylaw amendments.

This section also contains opinions issued by the Office of General Counsel about particular bylaw amendments requested by federal credit unions.  Additional opinion letters regarding bylaws may be found in the Legal Opinion Letters section of this web site.
