Lending & Credit Risk

Will revised regulations waive credit unions’ personal guarantee requirements?

This year could mark the beginning of eased personal guarantee requirements with the loosening of Member Business Lending (MBL) regulations. According to the National Credit Union Administration’s (NCUA) Office of General Council (OGC), personal lending is just one of the numerous items potentially up for the agency to revisit in 2014.

This possible update to the MBL regulations would place more weight on an institution’s CAMELS rating as opposed to the more traditional factors, such as the borrower’s income and profit trends, or the length of a credit-union’s relationship with the borrower.

Additional topics that the OGC noted as potentials for conversation this year are:

• Whether “soft costs” should be included in calculating the market value of a construction and development project

• Clarifying the meaning of “associated borrower”

• Changing collateral valuation

• Determining appropriate financial analysis practices as part of the underwriting process

• Updating the rule to clarify the legal relationship between the NCUA and state supervisors
