Section 180:10-3-6 - Multiple common bond field of membership

(a) A credit union must obtain Board approval of select employee group and select associational group additions to the field of membership of a multiple common bond credit union, except when the credit union has a composite CAMEL rating of 1 or 2 as of the credit union's last examination and seeks to add a group whose potential primary members do not exceed 500 or 10% of the credit union's existing membership, whichever is less.

(b) If Board approval of a select associational group or select employee group is required, the credit union must submit to the Board an application that must contain:

(1) the name and address of the credit union;

(2) the name and address of the proposed group;

(3) if an associational group, a copy of the association's organizational certificate, bylaws, or other equivalent organizational documentation;

(4) the number of potential primary members;

(5) the distance of the group from the nearest credit union service facility and the address of the facility;

(6) the primary method by which the credit union anticipates serving the group (for example, through a branch, ATM, internet, etc.)

(7) information regarding overlaps with other credit unions;

(8) a letter from a representative of the proposed group which requests membership with the credit union and explains;

(A) whether the group has available to it another credit union's services;

(B) the number of persons in the group and the group's address; and

(C) the group's proximity to the credit union's nearest service facility; and

(9) such other information as the Board or Commissioner shall request from the applicant.

(c) If Board approval of a select associational group or select employee group is not required, the credit union must complete and retain an application that shall contain the same information as described in subsection (b) of this section.

(d) A multiple common bond credit union may not add to its field of membership an OMSA or political subdivision.

(e) The Board may not disapprove of the addition of a select associational group and select employee group solely on the basis of the distance between such group and the credit union's nearest service facility.

(f) A community credit union that amends its bylaws and declares itself to be a multiple common bond credit union may retain all existing members and may add new members that otherwise qualify for membership in the credit union by being a member of a select employee group or select associational group being duly served by the credit union.

(g) For purposes of this section, the term "service facility" shall include shared branches, automated teller machines, and such other facilities, whether structural or electronic, which the Board may recognize.
