About Credit Unions
Is my money insured at SWECU? Yes, a member’s funds are federally insured through the NCUA (National Credit Union Administration). The NCUA is very similar to the FDIC for banks. Depending on how an account is titled, the account can be eligible for more than $100,000 through the NCUA (up to $250,000 per depositor), with IRA coverage of up to $250,000.
What is a Credit Union? A Credit Union is a cooperative, not-for-profit financial institution organized to promote healthy financial practices amongst its members. It is member-owned and controlled through a board of directors elected by the membership. The board serves on a volunteer basis and may hire a management team to run the Credit Union. The board also establishes and revises policy, sets dividend and loan rates. The result: members are provided with a safe, convenient place to save and borrow at reasonable rates at an institution which exists to benefit them, not to make a profit.
NCUA Insurance
What is the NCUA? The National Credit Union Administration (NCUS) is an independent agency of the United States government that regulates, charters, and supervises federal credit unions. NCUA also operates and manages the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund (NCUSIF). Backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government, the NCUSIF insures the account of millions of account holders in all federal credit unions and the vast majority of state-chartered credit unions.
Why is NCUSIF Share Insurance Coverage Important? Share insurance coverage protects members against losses if a federally insured credit union should fail. You can confidently join and conduct business with federally insured credit unions because no member has ever lost a penny from accounts insured by the NCUSIF.
What Basic Coverage is Provided by the NCUSIF? The NCUSIF provides all members of federally insured credit with $250,000 in coverage for their single ownership accounts. These accounts include regular shares, share drafts, money market accounts, and share certificates.
What Additional Coverage is Provided by NCUSIF?
Retirement Accounts - coverage up to $250,000 separate from your regular share account
Joint Accounts - Each joint account holder has $250,000 coverage for their aggregate interest, which is separate from and in addition to coverage available in an individual account
Trust Accounts - separate coverage is available for both revocable and irrevocable trusts. Coverage is available up to $250,000 for each beneficiary (if they are a member of the credit union)
Where Can I Find More Information About NCUSIF? You can obtain information on how your accounts are insured by viewing the NCUA brochure: NCUA Brochure. You can also use their calculator to estimate your coverage: NCUA Coverage Calculator
