Minnesota Credit Unions: Safe, Sound & Secure

  • Minnesota credit unions remain healthy and strong.
  • Like banks, money at credit unions is backed by the full faith and credit of the federal government. The National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund (NCUSIF) insures a member’s shares on deposit at a credit union up to a minimum of $250,000.
  • Not one penny of insured savings has ever been lost by a member of a federally-insured credit union – and every Minnesota credit union is federally-insured.
