Federal Insurance
As a URW Community Federal member, the money you have at Your Credit Union is safe. It is insured by the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) through the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund (NCUSIF).
The NCUA is backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government, and it insures checking and savings deposits in federal Credit Unions. Share insurance coverage protects members against losses if a federally insured credit union should fail. Failures are rare because only Credit Unions with sound standards qualify for NCUSIF coverage. No taxpayer dollars have ever been used to "bail out" a credit union.
To learn more about the NCUA and what it means to you, take a look at this video of financial journalist Jane Bryant Quinn.
NCUSIF insures savings to at least $250,000 per depositor with additional coverage of up to $250,000 for certain retirement accounts. You can use the NCUA Share Insurance Estimator or en Español to determine your insurance coverage.
For more information on NCUA insurance, please review the NCUA Share Insurance FAQs
Contact URW Community Federal if you have questions concerning URW Community Federal’s safety and soundness or share insurance coverage.
