Collateral Margins Table
The Central Liquidity Facility Collateral Margins Table identifies eligible collateral types and their respective margins for collateralizing an advance.
Each Facility advance must be secured with a first-priority security interest in assets of the borrowing credit union. The CLF may accept most or all credit union assets as collateral for an advance provided they are performing and have a determinable value.
For more information about collateral requirements, see NCUA regulations § 725.19(a) and (c) (opens new window) (You will be leaving NCUA.gov and accessing a non-NCUA website.
