Understanding NCUA's Capitalization of Unpaid Interest Regulation

This episode of Samantha Shares delves into the NCUA's letter to credit unions (23CU07), detailing the Capitalization of Unpaid Interest. It explains the unanimous vote by the NCUA Board on June 24, 2021, to allow interest capitalization in loan workouts and modifications, effective from July 30, 2021. The regulation aims to help borrowers facing financial hardships by offering various modification options like lowering payments, extending maturity dates, and capitalizing interest, ensuring these modifications are conducted under safe and sound lending practices. It emphasizes consumer protection, adherence to documentation requirements, and considerations for credit risk. The podcast also covers Q&A on loan modification policies, determining borrower's repayment ability, required disclosures, and acceptable methods for interest capitalization.
