§ 14651 Credit Union Service Investments

This law lets credit unions invest in companies or LLCs that are created to help credit unions, as long as those companies are set up by credit unions or similar groups. It also defines what counts as a credit union service organization.

Key Takeaways

  • •Investments are allowed only in entities that serve credit unions and are formed by credit unions or other eligible groups.
  • •If the entity isn’t formed by credit unions, the credit union must get the commissioner’s approval to invest.
  • •The term “credit union service organization” refers to any corporation or LLC that meets these criteria.

Example

A credit union wants to invest in a tech company that builds online banking tools for credit unions.

The tech company must be formed by the credit union or other credit unions to qualify automatically; if it's formed by someone else, the credit union must get approval from the state commissioner before investing.
