Credit unions, conversions, and capital
Abstract: While credit unions have been able to convert their charters more easily since the late 1990s, two conversions of very large credit unions--over $1 billion in assets each--in 2006 have put the issue on the front burner for the industry. ; This Economic Letter outlines some costs and benefits to their member-owners of credit unions' converting to stock thrifts and describes one way to reform the process in order to spread the benefits of conversion more broadly to credit union members.
