§ 14867 Credit Union Withdrawal Rules

This law lets credit union members take out their shares or fund certificates using written rules set by the board, and says the board can skip any notice rules unless the law says they must be kept. It also says that any rights or duties about those withdrawals follow the same rules banks use.

Key Takeaways

  • •The board must create written procedures for withdrawing shares or certificates.
  • •The board can waive any notice‑of‑intent requirement unless a higher law forces notice.
  • •All rights, duties, and liabilities for withdrawals are treated the same as they would be for a bank, using the Commercial Code.

Example

A member wants to cash in a share certificate they own at the credit union.

The member follows the board‑approved written form to withdraw the certificate. The board can decide that the member doesn’t have to give advance notice, unless another law says notice is required. The member’s rights and any liabilities are handled just like they would be at a bank.
