§ 15358 Federal To State Credit Union

When a federal credit union files its paperwork and gets a certificate, it stops being a federal credit union and becomes a state credit union, and all its assets automatically belong to it under the new state charter.

Key Takeaways

  • •The credit union changes from a federal to a state credit union.
  • •All of its property automatically becomes part of the new state credit union.
  • •No extra actions are required; the change happens by law.

Example

A credit union files its articles of incorporation, receives a state certificate, and then operates as a state credit union; its bank accounts and property are now owned by the new state credit union without any extra paperwork.

The law says that once the state issues the certificate, the credit union is no longer a federal credit union and all its property instantly becomes part of the new state credit union, so no additional steps are needed.

Upon the filing of the articles of incorporation with the Secretary of State and the issuance of a certificate by the commissioner authorizing the federal credit union to act as a credit union under the laws of this state, the credit union ceases to be a federal credit union and is a credit union under the laws of this state. All of the property of the credit union immediately, by operation of law and without any further act, is vested in the credit union under its new name and existence as a credit union under the laws of this state. (Amended by Stats. 1981, Ch. 765, Sec. 5.)
