Q: How can the members own the credit union?
Instead of a small panel of investors solely interested in maximizing their profits, each of our members has one (1) $5 share in the credit union. That makes each member an equal owner in the credit union. As owners, each year they elect their Board of Directors. The Board of Directors sets policies, including dividends and interest rates.

Q: How does the credit union compete in today’s market?
We survey our competitors monthly to compare our rates and consistently place at or near the top of the list. Every decision we make is driven by our commitment to helping lead the way to the financial wellness and security of our members.

Q: Are my deposits insured?
 The National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund is the federal fund created by Congress in 1970 to insure member deposits in federally insured credit unions. Administered by the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA), provides members with at least $250,000 of insurance at a federally insured credit union. The Share Insurance Fund is backed by the full faith and credit of the United States. An additional $250,000 of coverage is provided by Excess Share Insurance (ESI), a private corporation. Traditional and Roth IRAs are separately insured up to $250,000 by NCUA and up to an additional $250,000 through ESI, all at no cost to our members.
