The Central Bank of The Bahamas issued these regulations to establish comprehensive operational and financial standards for co-operative credit unions. The rules mandate specific loan amortization periods, interest accrual limits for past-due accounts, and strict conflict-of-interest disclosures for loans granted to directors, officers, and employees.
