NAFCU President and CEO Dan Berger will meet with NCUA Chairman Debbie Matz and Vice Chairman Rick Metsger this week to discuss the top regulatory concerns of credit unions as well as the agency's agenda for the remainder of 2015.

Berger will meet with Metsger today and with Matz on Wednesday.

During Matz's address to NAFCU members at its Annual Conference and Solutions Expo in June, she referred to 2015 as the agency's "year of regulatory relief." During his meetings with Matz and Metsger, Berger will discuss several issues including risk-based capital, fields of membership, fixed assets, and member business lending, among others.

Earlier this week, Berger wrote NCUA to applaud its member business lending rule that eliminates the waiver process and provides much-needed regulatory relief. In his letter, he said, "NAFCU and our members would like to express our appreciation to NCUA for engaging in numerous discussions with NAFCU, credit unions and industry representatives on how to … achieve needed flexibility, while maintaining the safety and soundness of the industry."
