NCUA to host webinar on efforts to combat bias in home valuations
In recognition of National Homeownership Month, the NCUA will host a free webinar to discuss federal government efforts to combat bias in home valuations and increase opportunities for homeownership. The webinar – scheduled for June 21 at 1 p.m. Eastern – will also provide information about relevant resources available for consumers and credit union professionals.
During the webinar, NCUA Financial Literacy and Outreach Program Officer Ashley Gordon will moderate the discussion between a panel of speakers, including:
- NCUA Special Assistant to the Executive Director Shameka Sutton;
- Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC) Executive Director James Park;
- Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) Associate Director for Fair Lending James Wylie; and
- Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Deputy Assistant Secretary for Housing Counseling David Berenbaum.
In addition, NCUA Associate Director for the Office of Examination and Insurance Victoria Nahrwold will provide opening remarks.
Credit unions are encouraged to register and attend.
Of note, NCUA and five additional federal regulators – including the FHFA – issued a proposal related to automated valuation models (AVMs) that would implement Dodd-Frank’s four quality control standards for the use of AVMs by mortgage originators and secondary market issuers.
The NCUA, FHFA, CFPB, FDIC, Federal Reserve, and Office of the Comptroller of the Currency stated the NAFCU-supported proposed rule - which was included again on rulemaking agendas released earlier this year - is “designed to ensure the credibility and integrity of models used in real estate valuations.”
NAFCU will review the proposed rule and solicit member feedback. Comments are due to the regulators 60 days after it is published in the Federal Register.
The association will continue to work closely with regulators to advocate for policies that promote sustainable and equitable access to affordable housing and ensure the credit union industry’s best interests in the housing finance system.

Add to Calendar 2023-09-22 14:00:00 2023-09-22 14:00:00 Understanding Credit Card Portfolio Sales & Agent Programs Both credit union and bank credit card issuers are under intense pressure from various sources, including competitor innovation, significant internal resource commitments, increasing operating expenses, uncertain regulatory and economic environments and a variety of capital and liquidity constraints. This has led to about 80% of all banks offering credit cards under an ‘agent issuing’ model, where a third-party issues credit cards under the financial institution’s name. While hundreds of credit unions do the same, and interest in this option has increased in the last two years, the majority of credit unions still own and manage this product themselves. Deciding whether this option can meet strategic, financial and member needs can be difficult to untangle. In this webinar, Understanding Credit Card Portfolio Sales & Agent Programs, you’ll delve into the structure of such programs, the financial and risk-profile impacts of such a decision, the contractual commitments required of both parties and discover evaluation tips and processes for any credit union that would like to evaluate this path. Key Takeaways Discover the structure of the agent issuing concept and obligations of both parties Understand the financial impact of entering such a program to the balance sheet, income statement, and critical performance ratios Ascertain the impacts to members, including both positive and negative possibilities Review the accompanying contractual structures and key considerations Develop an evaluation process that best protects the credit union’s financial and other outcomes Register Now $295 Members | $395 Nonmembers(Additional $50 for USB)One registration gives your entire team access to the live webinar and on-demand recording until September 22, 2024.Go to the Online Training Center to access the webinar after purchase » Who Should Attend COOs CFOs NCCOs and compliance titles NCRMs and risk titles General counsel staff Education Credits NCCOs will receive 1.0 CEUs for participating in this webinar NCRMs will recieve 1.0 CEUs for participating in this webinar CPA credit information is below; recommended 1.0 CPE credits.
