The review board is responsible for overseeing the activities of the Iowa Division of Credit Unions and serves as the primary point of accountability for ensuring that state credit unions function as a system. The seven-member board derives its authority from Iowa Code Chapter 533. The members of the review board shall be appointed by the governor subject to confirmation by the senate. The governor may appoint the members of the board from a list of nominees submitted to the governor by the credit unions located in Iowa.

Five of the members must have been members in good standing for at least the previous five years of either an Iowa state chartered credit union, or a federally chartered credit union whose principal place of business is in Iowa. Two of the members may be public members. Only five members of the board are allowed to be directors or employees of a credit union. The members shall serve for three-year staggered terms beginning and ending as provided by section 69.19.
