Regulatory Affairs

The Minnesota Credit Union Network provides feedback to various federal agencies on proposed rules that have the potential to impact Minnesota credit unions. MnCUN works with its Regulatory Review Committee to review proposed rules that are out for comment and determine whether or not a response is necessary. The committee provides input and recommendations to assist the Network in formulating comments on behalf of Minnesota credit unions. Below are the comment letters MnCUN has submitted over the past few years.
