Glossary
The National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund was created by Congress in 1970 to insure members' deposits in federally insured credit unions. Each credit union member has at least $250,000 in total coverage. Administered by the NCUA, the Share Insurance Fund insures individual accounts up to $250,000.
Additionally, a member’s interest in all joint accounts combined is insured up to $250,000. The Share Insurance Fund also separately protects members’ IRA and KEOGH retirement accounts up to $250,000 and provides additional coverage for members’ trust accounts.
The Share Insurance Fund has the backing of the full faith and credit of the United States. Credit Union members have never lost even a penny of insured savings at a federally insured credit union.
Direct Federal is a not-for-profit, meaning that earnings are invested right back into the credit union. And that means Direct Federal can offer lower loan rates and higher deposit rates that you simply won't see anywhere else.
Credit unions are among the most well-capitalized financial institutions, maintaining equity reserves and investments that prioritize needed safety and soundness for their members.
Direct Federal is no exception to this. Our conservative balance sheet management and strong capital position makes us significantly different from financial institutions in the news.
