Did you know that members can now be expelled for cause?
Previously,
FCUs could only expel a member by calling a special membership meeting and
voting the member out. It was a difficult, cumbersome process. The good news is
that it’s now easier to deal with abusive members. The downside is that under
the new rule, FCUs must revisit and revise their entire process. This
webinar will provide all the details.
AFTER
THIS WEBINAR YOU’LL BE ABLE TO:
- Appreciate new options for dealing with abusive members
- Understand the new definition of “Member Not in Good Standing”
- Adopt the new expulsion bylaw amendment
- Offer a compliant notice of the policy change to your membership
- Develop a more robust security program
- Create consistent member expulsion procedures
- Integrate record retention requirements
WEBINAR DETAILS
Member expulsion has always been a rare,
extraordinary action to protect the credit union from abusive or violent
members. Fortunately, the Credit Union Governance Modernization Act addressed
the issue of abusive members and the NCUA recently developed a rule to enable FCUs
to expel members for cause. While the new rule allows the board to expel a
member with a simple vote, there are several important safeguards built into
the process. The new rule strikes a balance between giving the credit union
more flexibility for member expulsion and member rights to notice of a hearing
and even an appeal.
Rather than just a routine bylaw amendment and a safe harbor notice, the recent rule requires credit unions to review their entire “Member in Good Standing” process and revise it. The new member expulsion power can be seen as another tool in the toolbox to deal with members who have failed to live up to their agreed-upon obligations. For example, there is a clear difference between a member who has caused the CU a financial loss and one who has exhibited abusive conduct towards staff. Does your program take this into consideration? Join credit union veteran David Reed as he breaks down the new expulsion rule and examines the potential benefits and landmines of the new process. This will no doubt be on the regulatory radar.
