Savings Account Insurance
Rest assured, your money is safe
Understanding NCUA Share Insurance Coverage
Knowing that your funds are secure is essential to peace of mind. Whether you have $1,000 in a savings account or $250,000 in a Share Certificate, be assured those funds are safe.
The money you have on deposit at Monterra Credit Union is federally insured by the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA), an independent government agency. The NCUA also manages the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund (NCUSIF), which covers the accounts of millions of credit union members throughout the country.
With this kind of protection, you can conduct transactions with Monterra confidently. In the history of credit unions, no member has ever lost so much as a penny from accounts insured by the NCUIF.
