- A Detailed Look Inside NCUA’s New Interest Rate Risk Rule
NCUA’s new interest rate risk rule is effective September 30, 2012 and will impact over 45% of all federally insured credit unions! The rule states, “certain credit unions must create a written policy to address IRR management, as well as an effective IRR program for successful asset liability management”.
Those impacted by the rule include all federally insured credit unions over $50 million in assets and those with less than $10 million in assets are exempt. Credit unions between $10 and $50 million in assets are only subject to the requirements if their first mortgage loans plus investments with maturities over five years equal or exceed 100% of its net worth.
This webcast will be more than the average compliance checklist. You will get an in-depth look at the new rule and learn how to develop your credit union’s interest rate risk policy and program.
