NCUA Share Insurance
All of our deposits are insured up to $250,000 by NCUA, the National Credit Union Administration. Many credit unions in the United States use NCUA’s share insurance, which is backed by the full faith and credit of the US government.
If you have a joint on your account, you each have coverage of at least $250,000. This insurance isn’t something you have to opt in for, we do it automatically on every ECCU account, regardless of the deposit size.
Unlike most banks, ECCU is member-owned, meaning each account holder is a partial owner of the credit union. Our Board of Directors is compromised of members, is member-elected, and is entirely volunteer-based. Our Board oversees the credit union financials and operations, to ensure everything is being managed in the best interest of the membership. All financials are reported to NCUA quarterly and reviewed with members annually.
