§ 14959 Credit Union Loan Transfers

This law lets credit unions buy or sell loans they have made to their members, and also lets them buy loans from other credit unions or lenders to bundle and sell or pledge on the secondary market.

Key Takeaways

  • •Credit unions can purchase or sell whole or partial loans to or from their members.
  • •They can also buy loans from other credit unions or lenders to package for the secondary market.
  • •These purchases are not treated as obligations with nonmembers under Section 14750.

Example

A credit union wants to sell a car loan it gave to one of its members to another credit union, or it wants to buy a loan from another credit union to include in a group of loans it will sell to investors.

Because the law allows credit unions to purchase or sell loans made to their members—and also to buy loans from other credit unions to package for resale—the transaction is permitted as long as the loan is part of the credit union's member loan portfolio.
