A rule proposed by the NCUA Board in December would prohibit running credit unions out of personal residences. In introducing the rule, the NCUA stressed that home-based credit unions put examiners at risk and could compromise the regulator's ability to examine the institution.
In her editor's column published in Credit Union Times' Jan. 8, 2014 issue, Publisher/Editor-in-Chief Sarah Snell Cooke supported the measure, saying the very fact that the agency had to issue a rule about home-based credit unions was preposterous.
Readers disagreed, citing the successful history of start-up credit unions run out of less formal spaces.
