Tennessee Code Title 45. Banks and Financial Institutions § 45-4-1102

(1) Aid and assist any member credit union that is in liquidation or incurs financial difficulty, such as insolvency or lack of liquidity, in order that the shareholdings and deposits of any individual member of a member credit union shall be protected or guaranteed against loss. The primary amount of loss to be protected or guaranteed shall be established from time to time by the corporation with the approval of the commissioner of financial institutions. With the approval of the commissioner, the corporation may, in addition to the primary amount of loss to be protected or guaranteed, establish additional loss protection or guarantees for the benefit of those member credit unions that voluntarily elect to obtain the additional protection, upon the terms and conditions and the payment of fees that the board of directors of the corporation establishes; and

(2) Cooperate with its member credit unions and the commissioner and the appropriate supervisory agency of credit unions that become members under § 45-4-1107(c) or (d), for the purpose of advancing the general welfare of credit unions in this state and in other states where credit unions become members of the corporation.
