This is a three step process (1) The
credit union must receive written approval from the host country to
establish a branch, (2) The credit union must develop a detailed
business plan, and (3) The credit union must submit documentation
showing host country approval, state regulatory approval (if
applicable), and the business plan to NCUA and receive NCUA
approval before establishing the branch office. There are no formal
applications to complete.
NCUA has adjusted the burden
totals because we have experienced limited interest among federally
insured credit unions in establishing offices overseas at locations
that are not military facilities.
