NCUA Share Insurance

The NCUA is an independent agency of the U.S. Government. The NCUA regulates, charters, and insures the nation’s federal credit unions. In addition, the NCUA insures state-chartered credit unions that seek and qualify for federal insurance.

The shares in your credit union are insured by the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund (NCUSIF), which is backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. Established by Congress in 1970 to insure member share accounts at federally insured credit unions, the NCUSIF is managed by the NCUA under the direction of its three-person Board. Your share insurance coverage is similar to the deposit insurance coverage offered by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC).
