By member choice, the Credit Union is not federally insured. The Credit Union is privately insured by American Share Insurance. It is a share guaranty corporation that reflects the philosophy of the credit union movement – member-owned, not-for-profit, and community-based is the best way to operate.
Founded in 1974 by credit union activists, the corporation is the nation‘s largest private deposit insurer for natural person credit unions and only insures deposits in credit unions. Currently, over 1.2 million members belong to credit unions insured by ASI. No credit union member has ever lost money in any ASI-insured credit union account.
