NCUA Insurance CoverageThrough the National Credit Union Association, the total funds you have in non-investment accounts at the credit union are insured up to $250,000. This coverage is provided at no charge to you, the consumer.
The share insurance provided through the NCUA is backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. So no matter what happens, your money is safe, provided you stay within the coverage limits.
NOTICE OF CHANGES IN TEMPORARY NCUA INSURANCE COVERAGE FOR TRANSACTION ACCOUNTS
All funds in a "noninterest-bearing account" are insured in full by the National Credit Union Administration through December 31, 2012. This temporary unlimited coverage is in addition to, and separate from, the coverage of at least $250,000 available to members under the NCUA's general share insurance rules.
The term "noninterest-bearing transaction account" includes a traditional share draft account (or demand deposit account) on which the insured credit union pays no interest or dividend. It does not include any transaction account that may earn interest or dividends, a negotiable order of withdrawal ("NOW") account, money-market deposit account, and Interest on Lawyers Trust Account ("IOLTA"), even if share drafts may be drawn on the account.
