Proof of Concept for New Charter Organizing Groups

The Office of Credit Union Resources and Expansion (CURE) is responsible for the review and approval of charter applications submitted by organizing groups. CURE has implemented a charter modernization process to improve the quality of charter applications received. This will help ensure organizing groups submit a well-thought out, well-developed charter plan to minimize the back and forth communication and improve overall chartering processing times. The information collection is needed to determine the adequacy of a group’s chartering concept and provide guidance, as needed, and would identify the level of understanding an organizing group has before they make a formal charter application submission as prescribed by Appendix B to 12 CFR Part 701 (12 U.S.C. 1758, 1759).

The latest form for Proof of Concept for New Charter Organizing Groups expires 2029-03-31 and is listed under ICR 202507-3133-007.
