Credit Union Development

The Office of Credit Union Development:

  • Foster business development of credit unions by providing the guidance and education needed for the delivery of financial services.
  • Facilitate the expansion of credit union services through the chartering of new credit unions and field of membership expansions.
  • Coordinate efforts -- with third-party organizations -- to improve the viability and successful operation of credit unions.

NCUA encourages low-income designated credit unions to apply for Technical Assistance Grant (TAG) funding available to stimulate growth and savings, home ownership, member education, technical upgrades, student internships and the IRS volunteer income tax assistance (VITA) program. Please see the Programs page for details.
