The National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) announced a settlement with Bank of America and certain of its subsidiaries for $165 million for losses related to purchases of residential mortgage-backed securities by failed corporate credit unions. As part of the settlement, Bank of America did not admit fault.
The settlement with Bank of America follows three similar agreements with Citigroup, Deutsche Bank Securities and HSBC totaling $170.75 million. In total, NCUA has obtained more than $335 million in legal settlements.
Twenty-five percent of the settlement is being paid to the two law firms representing the agency in these legal proceedings.
