Preemption-Federal Credit Union Non-Interest Charges and Fees

The NCUA Board is adopting an interim final rule to clarify federal credit unions' (FCUs) power to charge non-interest charges and fees includes the power to assess, collect, impose, levy, receive, reserve, take, or otherwise obtain non-interest charges and fees, including interchange fees from credit and debit card operations. Further, the interim final rule explains that FCUs may charge non- interest charges or fees, even when such charges and fees are set by or in consultation with third parties. NCUA invites public comments on this interim final rule.
