Are my accounts federally insured?
A credit union (CU) is a not-for-profit, cooperative financial institution owned and run by member-owners to provide a safe place to save and borrow money at reasonable rates.
Unlike a bank or other for-profit financial institution, a CU gives its profits back to its members in the form of higher account rates, lower loan rates, lower service fees and other valuable services. Like a bank, the Federal Government insures deposits for CUs. The National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund (NCUSIF) is the federal fund created by Congress in 1970 to insure members' accounts at CUs up to the federal limit.
Administered by the National Credit Union Administration, the NCUSIF is backed by the "full faith and credit" of the U.S. government. To join a CU, you must be eligible for membership as determined by the CU's charter. Most CUs are organized to serve people in a particular community, group or groups of employees or members of an organization or association.
What information do you need if my relative wants to join the credit union? Do I need to come in with him/her? What proof do you need that he/she is related to me?
Membership is open to immediate family members of our members. Family members should be prepared to provide the name of their relative and need not provide proof of relationship. As the member of our credit union, you are not required to accompany your relative to the credit union.
What type of identification is required when applying for membership with the credit union?
Federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person who opens an account.
As such, when you open an account, we will ask for this information:
- Your name
- Street address
- Date of birth
- Taxpayer Identification Number
- A valid ID
Acceptable valid identifications are:
- Driver's license
- State identification
- Military identification
- Passport
Your identification must contain a photo and:

- Date of birth
- Resident street address
