      The list of troubled CUs is not published.

      You will have a hard time coming up with an unofficial list as NCUA as a rule does not make public enforcement actions against credit unions.

    Do credit unions under conservatorship count as a problem credit union? And regarding CUs under conservatorship, are there any impacts to members who have over $250k in share accounts? The NCUA seems to ignore this issue in their press releases that announce conservatorships.

      Being designated as a problem credit union is based on CAMEL rating of 4 or 5. However, if a credit union is in conservatorship, it has a CAMEL rating of 4 or 5.

      Only if the credit union is closed, would balances above $250,000 be impacted.

    Does the FDIC publish a list of CAMEL 4 or 5 banks? Neither federal agency should because it would cause issues with the institutions affect their business. Most likely lead to their demise as independent financial institutions.
