NASCUS advocates for a strong and independent state-chartered credit union system, focusing its legislative efforts on federal proposals that impact the dual charter framework, state credit union operations, share insurance requirements, or state regulatory authority.
To operate a state credit union, the organizers of the credit union must receive approval of a charter from a state credit union regulatory agency. To assist individuals exploring the creation of de novo (new) state credit union, NASCUS provides the following information and resources to help familiarize interested parties with the chartering process.
