What is National Credit Union Administration?
The National Credit Union Administration is an independent agency of the United States Government. Congress established the NCUA share insurance program in 1970 in order to insure member share accounts of federally insured Credit Unions. NCUA Insurance helps to maintain sound conditions in the Credit Union industry and protects those insured in the event of failure of an insured Credit Union due to insolvency or bankruptcy, as determined by the National Credit Union Administration Board. Members in an insured Credit Union do not pay for share insurance protection directly. Delta Community maintains deposits with the Share Insurance Fund equal to 1% of member deposits. The basic insured amount for a Credit Union member under current law is $250,000. Share accounts maintained in different rights or capacities, or form of ownership, may each be separately insured up to $250,000. Thus a member may hold or have an interest in more than one separately insured share account in the same insured Credit Union.

If I have accounts in several different insured Credit Unions, will the accounts be added together for the purpose of insurance coverage?
The maximum insurance of $250,000 is applicable to share accounts in each insured Credit Union. A member who has share accounts in two or more different insured Credit Unions would have up to $250,000 insurance in each Credit Union.
