Admin Portal administrators grant users access to DEXA by requesting access to MERIT. The MERIT application request includes DEXA. Once approved by the NCUA, users will receive an email notification and can log in to NCUA Connect at https://ncua.okta.com. DEXA will be a tile on the user’s dashboard.
Close and return to topHas the AIRES loan/share schema changed?
No. The member loan and share download requirements remain unchanged at this time. Files that follow the schema in NCUA Letter to Credit Unions 03-CU-05 can be imported into DEXA.
Close and return to topWhat is the loan/share type map template and where can I find it?
The mapping template is used to map the credit union’s loan/share type codes to a standard NCUA list of type codes for better analytics and loan review selection. There are separate type map templates for loans and another one for shares. A type map template is required to upload loan and share files through DEXA. The type map templates can be found on the DEXA webpage.
Close and return to topWhat are my options if I upload the wrong file?
If you identify the error before submission, click the Remove button when previewing the file. After the data file is submitted, the examiner can delete the file from the Loan and Share Uploads landing page. Once complete, the file status in DEXA will change to Deleted.

There are several errors that may be causing your file to not load properly. Please see the DEXA Quick Reference Troubleshooting Guide on the main DEXA webpage that shows common errors with the loan and share files.

Close and return to topNCUA Letter to Credit Unions 03-CU-05 requires the Loan Term data field to be alphanumeric with no more than 3 characters. However, my credit union has loan terms exceeding 999. Can you please advise?
Although the schema indicates the loan term cannot exceed 3 characters, the NCUA understands that credit unions may have loans with more than 999 contractual payments. The NCUA has updated DEXA and the system will accept a loan term with up to five characters.
