About Secondary Capital
The Federation offers two types of secondary capital loans products - Secondary Capital I which includes an expected balloon repayment of principal, and Secondary Capital II, which includes expected repayments of amortized principal.
Both Secondary Capital loans are subordinated, long-term debt available to credit unions with low-income designation from their regulator. Although they are loans, secondary capital counts as net worth for regulatory purposes. Secondary capital can be leveraged by growing CDCUs to expand safe and affordable lending to local communities. The Federation makes Secondary Capital Loans of up to $1,000,000.
