Comment Period of the Policy Statement: Minority Depository Institution Preservation Program Due Aug. 28

Date:

Aug 28, 2023

Time: 11:59PM

At its June meeting, NCUA Board approved proposed changes to the interpretive ruling and policy statement on the agency’s Minority Depository Institution Preservation Program. The proposal would amend Interpretive Ruling and Policy Statement 13-1, approved on June 18, 2015, to reflect the transfer of the MDI preservation program administration from the agency’s Office of Minority and Women Inclusion to its Office of Credit Union Resources and Expansion, update the program’s features, and clarify the requirements for a credit union to receive and maintain an MDI designation.
