If credit unions see a temporary surge in deposits after BankTransfer Day on Saturday, they have two options to calculate the changes totheir net worth ratio, the NCUA has reminded its examiners.

|

Credit unions can calculate their net worth by using“point-in-time” assets or using a rolling average of assets.

|

In its memorandum, the agency's Office of Examination &Insurance noted that for credit unions that choose the averagingmethod, the agency should “take into consideration the potentiallytransient nature of some of these deposits.”

|

“However, depending on how 'sticky' the deposits are, the creditunion may only get temporary relief from the net worth effects of asuccessful Bank Transfer Day,” the memo said.

The agency also noted to its examiners that if credit unionskeep the new deposits for several months, examiners should ensure thatthey update their capital retention plans.
