Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The First Federal Home Loan Bank Oversight Hearing in 15 Years with Ryan Donovan CEO of the Council of Federal Home Loan Banks
Q: If someone wants to reach out, what's the best way to contact the Council?
The preferred route is through LinkedIn, specifically Council of Federal Home Loan Banks and Ryan Donovan on LinkedIn, which provides direct access and updates.
The First Federal Home Loan Bank Oversight Hearing in 15 Years with Ryan Donovan CEO of the Council of Federal Home Loan Banks
Q: So how did that oversight hearing go?
Donovan describes it as a positive experience, highlighting the opportunity to present the Home Loan Banks' story, educate policymakers, and emphasize their mission and impact after years without such oversight.
WFC Classic: Liquidity — An NCUA Perspective
Q: Based on what you heard on NCUA's liquidity webinar, what's your takeaway from what they had to say today?
The takeaway is that the core guidance remains anchored in the 2010 Interagency Policy Statement and its 2013 CU10 guidance, with a renewed emphasis on forward-looking cash flow forecasting, stress testing, and contingency funding plans. While the regulator presented a solid refresher, the practical application varies by examiner, and credit unions should defend their chosen metrics while aligning them with forward-looking liquidity needs rather than relying on rear-view ratios.
Bank Buys, CUSO Acquisitions, and Mergers of Equals: The 2026 Acquisition Landscape with Mike Bell & Justin Gingerich
Q: What is driving the current pace of bank-to-credit-union acquisitions?
Banks are bidding aggressively and often outpacing credit unions, which explains the slower pace of CU bids despite rising deal activity in some areas. The speakers emphasize that regulatory and market dynamics, rather than a lack of demand, are shaping the pace.
Trust Is Not an Internal Control: David Reed on Fraud and the Supervisory Committee
Q: Should CPA opinions be required below a certain asset threshold?
There was discussion suggesting CPA audits add value and accountability, with considerations about threshold around 500 million and the trade-off between cost and the assurance they provide to governance.
