The NCUA board
approved a National Small Credit Union Program
(SCUP) in 1999. The purpose of the SCUP is to facilitate
the Board's goals of promoting the development
of financially healthy small and low-income designated
credit unions, and encouraging the formation of
newly chartered credit unions. This program was
designed to provide assistance to credit unions
that fall within the following criteria:
Each region has
Economic Development and Small Credit Union Specialists
that provide specialized assistance to small credit
unions. Credit unions that fall within the SCUP
criteria (refer to above paragraph) can participate
in the program and can contact their regional office
to request assistance.
There is no obligation
for credit unions to participate in this program,
but the program does provide an unique opportunity
for those smaller credit unions to obtain advice
and/or assistance in areas where they may not have
expertise. The regional offices prioritize the
on-site SCUP assistance by credit unions’ need.
If you want to attend the SCUP workshops or to
participate in the regional program for small credit
unions, contact your regional office.
Upcoming Regional SCUP events:
Region I - Albany
Region II - Capital
Region IV - Austin
Region V - Tempe
