Credit unions approaching the 12.25% Member Business Loan regulatory cap

Credit unions whose member business loan (MBL) portfolio is approaching the NCUA aggregate-cap threshold relative to total assets. CUs near the cap have limited headroom to grow business lending before triggering supervisory attention.

Methodology

We rank credit unions whose member business loan (MBL) portfolio under the NARROW NCUA definition (non-real-estate-secured commercial loans, ACCT_400P) exceeds 10% of total assets — the most exposed credit unions by the narrow measure. Note: the 12.25% NCUA MBL cap (12 CFR §723) applies to the BROADER measure (ACCT_400A, which includes real-estate-secured commercial loans), so a credit union clearing this card's 10% threshold under the narrow definition may already be much closer to the broad-measure cap. Credit unions above the threshold have limited room to grow MBL exposure before drawing supervisory attention. MBL share is the narrow member-business-loan balance divided by total assets, both from the NCUA 5300 call report. Sorted by MBL share, highest first. Credit unions only; banks have no comparable regulatory cap.
