Credit union deposits are safe. The collapse of Silicon Valley Bank last week is the second largest failure of a financial institution in U.S. history. The bank was shut down and put under the control of the FDIC following a 48-hour bank run and capital crisis. On March 12, regulators also shut down Signature Bank.

Credit union deposits in federally insured credit unions are safe and secure.
Federally insured credit unions offer a safe place for credit union members to save money. These deposits are protected by the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund and insured up to at least $250,000 per individual depositor – the same as any other federally insured financial institution.
Credit union members have never lost a penny of insured savings at a federally insured credit union. You can visit MyCreditUnion.gov for more information about the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund coverage for consumers.
Again, your money is safe and secure at our credit union, and protected up to $250,000 per individual depositor.
