Modern Examination & Risk Identification Tool (MERIT)

MERIT logoMERIT is the NCUA’s new web-based examination platform that replaces AIRES, a 25-year old legacy examination application. MERIT streamlines the examination process for credit unions and examiners and offers examiners robust financial analytics for in-depth analysis.

Additionally, MERIT offers credit union users the ability to securely:

  • Transfer files within the context of an examination
  • Provide status updates and request due date changes on examination findings and action items
  • Retrieve completed examination reports

MERIT is accessible through NCUA Connect (You will be leaving NCUA.gov and accessing a non-NCUA website. We encourage you to read the NCUA's exit link policies.

Contact the NCUA OneStop Help Desk for technical assistance at OneStop@NCUA.gov.
