§ 16512 Foreign Credit Union Rules

This law says that if a rule about a foreign credit union’s branch clashes with any other state rule, the foreign‑credit‑union rule wins and the other rule is ignored.

Key Takeaways

  • •Only affects foreign (non‑U.S.) credit unions that have a branch or facility here.
  • •When their rules conflict with any other state rule, the foreign‑credit‑union rule is the one that counts.
  • •The conflicting state rule does not apply to that foreign credit union’s branch.

Example

A bank from another country opens a branch in the state and wants to charge a fee that state law normally bans for local banks.

Because the foreign‑credit‑union rule says it can charge that fee, the state law that says it can’t is set aside for that branch.
