Online Payment Process for DCU Semi-Annual Asset Assessment Fees

Online Payment Process for DCU Semi-Annual Asset Assessment Fees

DCU Bulletin B-16-09, July 7, 2016

Chapter 31.12 RCW authorizes the Director to charge fees to credit unions and certain other persons in order to cover the costs of the operation of the division of credit unions and to establish a reasonable reserve for the division. Chapter 208-418 WAC is amended to change the frequency of these fees from quarterly to semi-annual assessments.

Asset assessment fees will be collected on a semi-annual basis (i.e. in January and July of each year). Credit unions will use an online payment system to pay the asset assessment fee.

For the July 1st fee, we will be using the December 31, 2015 asset amount. Please go to https://fortress.wa.gov/dfi/elicensing/dfi/EFiling/CuAssessment and follow the instructions provided.

For your reference below are the assessment fee formulas (for more information please see WAC 208-418-040)
