Are the Savings in the Credit Union Insured?

Yes! Each account is insured up to $250,000 by the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA). NCUA is a federal government agency and is the credit union equivalent to FDIC (banks) and FSLIC (savings and loans).

What Are the Advantages of Joining a Credit Union?
