(a) Without being required to take any action to perfect a lien, a credit union has a lien and a right to a setoff on the shares and deposits of a member in any individual, multiple party, or other type of account, including any dividends or interest payable on those shares or deposits, to the extent of any delinquency or default of the member on:
(1) Any outstanding loan, whether or not matured, on which the member is liable to the credit union as maker, comaker, surety, or endorser; and
