NCUA Guaranteed Notes (NGN) Program

The National Credit Union Administration announced the Corporate System Resolution Program on September 24, 2010. As part of the resolution, the NCUA created the NCUA Guaranteed Note (NGN) Program to provide long-term funding for distressed investment securities from the five failed corporate credit unions.

The legacy assets consist of over 2,000 investment securities, secured by approximately 1.6 million residential mortgages, as well as commercial mortgages and other securitized assets. As illustrated below, the NCUA transferred the legacy assets to NGN trusts. The NGN trusts then issued approximately $28.3 billion of NGNs, backed by the cash flows from the legacy assets. The timely repayment of principal and interest to the investors in NGNs is guaranteed by the NCUA and backed by the full faith and credit of the United States.

On September 28, 2017, the NCUA Board unanimously voted to close the Temporary Corporate Credit Union Stabilization Fund (Stabilization Fund) effective October 1, 2017, ahead of its sunset date of June 30, 2021. All remaining funds, property, and other assets were transferred to the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund (Share Insurance Fund), representing a major milestone in the wind-down of the Corporate System Resolution Program.

On June 14, 2021, the final NGN tranche (NGN 2011-M1 A5) matured with all noteholders being fully repaid. This represents the end of the NGN program.
