S.C. Code Ann. § 34-26-840: Limitation of size of loan; in general.

The aggregate of direct or indirect loans to any one member shall be limited to fifteen percent of the credit union's reserves and undivided earnings. This limit shall not apply to loans which are fully secured by assignment of shares or deposits in the credit union or obligations of the United States Government. However, for credit unions in operation for five years or less, the aggregate of direct or indirect loans to any one member shall not exceed ten percent of the credit union's shares.
