The National Credit Union Administration (NCUA), a U.S. government agency that oversees and charters federal credit unions and insures deposits, issued one consent-based prohibition and four conviction-based prohibitions in February 2026. These actions permanently bar five individuals from participating in the affairs of any federally insured depository institution.
Abbigail Iglesias, a former employee of Affinity Plus Federal Credit Union in Saint Paul, Minnesota, agreed to a prohibition order to resolve claims brought by the NCUA Board.
The following individuals were subject to conviction-based prohibitions:
Tyra Brown, formerly with Service Federal Credit Union in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, was convicted and sentenced for wire fraud in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas.
Aneicia Ford, previously employed by Boeing Employees Credit Union in Tukwila, Washington, was convicted and sentenced for conspiracy to commit bank fraud in the United States District Court for the Western District of Washington.
Billy Ray Thomas, who worked at Neches Federal Credit Union in Port Neches, Texas, was convicted and sentenced for conspiracy to commit bank fraud by the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas.
Ashley Viken, formerly with Black Hills Federal Credit Union in Rapid City, South Dakota, was convicted and sentenced for bank fraud and theft by a credit union employee in the United States District Court for the District of South Dakota.
According to the NCUA: “An Order of Prohibition prohibits a party from ever working for a federally insured depository institution.”
The agency also issues other types of administrative orders when it finds violations or unsafe practices within credit unions. These include Orders to Cease and Desist—requiring action or restitution; Orders Assessing Civil Money Penalties—requiring payment of penalties; as well as Orders of Prohibition. As stated: “The three most common orders issued by the NCUA include: An Order to Cease and Desist… An Order of Prohibition… [and] An Order Assessing Civil Money Penalties…”
Enforcement orders are available on NCUA’s Administrative Orders webpage where they can be searched by name or institution. Copies can also be requested by mail from their Alexandria headquarters.
The NCUA serves federally insured credit unions nationwide https://ncua.gov/, ensuring regulatory oversight and deposit safety. The agency manages tools such as CUOnline for financial submissions and provides resources like Share Insurance Estimator https://ncua.gov/.
