In July 2024, the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) banned two people from working in any federally insured bank. Besides Prohibition Orders, the NCUA sometimes gives other formal orders when a credit union or someone associated with it breaks a law, rule, or regulation, fails to fulfill a duty, or acts unsafely or unsoundly.
Who Got Banned?
Jose Prado-Valero: He used to work at Financial Center First Credit Union in Indianapolis, Indiana.r
Tracy H. Thibodeau: She used to work at Vermont VA Federal Credit Union in White River Junction, Vermont.
Common NCUA Orders:

Order of Prohibition: This order bans a person from ever working for a federally insured financial institution.
Order Assessing Civil Money Penalties: This order requires an institution or person to pay a penalty.
