A Unique Investment Bank Dedicated to the Goals of our Credit Union Partners.

Meeting credit unions where they are since 2017.

How can we help your credit union better serve your members?

Secondary Capital

Since 1996, the NCUA has authorized Low-Income Credits Unions (LICUs) to raise uninsured secondary capital in the form of subordinated debt. 

For a LICU, the capital counts directly towards the PCA Net Worth ratio, a powerful tool for credit unions to strengthen their institution in the face of adverse economic conditions and to invest in improvements to the member experience.

Subordinated Debt

With the transition to the new subordinated debt regime, the universe of credit unions capable of raising subordinated debt has increased dramatically. No longer limited to just low-income designated credit unions, now Complex Credit Unions can raise following the approval of an application to the NCUA.  

For complex credit unions, the subordinated debt counts towards their numerator in their Risk Based Capital ratio. For low-income credit unions the debt counts towards both their PCA and Risk Based Net Worth calculations.

Our Firm.

Many have asked about the origins of our firm’s name. Olden Lane is a small street in Princeton, New Jersey which comprised the majority of Albert Einstein’s daily stroll from his home on Mercer Street to the Institute of Advanced Study, where he served as a faculty member from 1933 until his death in 1955.

At Olden Lane, we are inspired by Einstein’s insatiable curiosity and his tireless spirit for inquiry. We hope to bring just a bit of that enthusiasm to the work we do for our credit union clients.

We are grounded in a culture of creativity, operational excellence, and dedication to our credit union clients. We work diligently to understand each client’s unique circumstances and offer individualized service. We can devise customized solutions across a range of funding, investment and capital needs utilizing a wide range of capital markets expertise.
