Are my funds in this credit union federally insured to $250,000 (FDIC or NCUA)?
Yes, your funds are insured by NCUA.
The National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) is an independent agency of the United States Government. The NCUA regulates, charters, and insures the nation's federal credit unions and some state chartered credit unions that desire federal insurance and qualify for it. Credit Unions are banking institutions owned by the members to whom services are available. Each credit union identifies its membership, primarily according to affiliation with an employer.
