$250,000 Share Insurance Protection Extended

The Helping Families Save Their Homes Act of 2009, signed into law May 20, 2009, includes a provision extending the $250,000 share insurance coverage provided by the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund through December 31, 2013. Previously, this level of coverage was set to expire December 31, 2009. Rest assured your money is safe at Memorial Employees Financial Credit Union.

What coverage does the NCUA provide?

All individual standard share accounts are insured for up to $250,000. This includes regular shares (savings account), share drafts (checking accounts), money market accounts, and share certificates (CDs).

What if I need Additional Coverage?

Your accounts are eligible to receive additional government account insurance coverage. For example, accounts with named qualifying beneficiaries receive up to $250,000 for each beneficiary designated on the account. Another way to increase your coverage is by having a joint account. Joint accounts without beneficiaries are insured separately for $250,000 each. This means that a joint account between two people is insured by the NCUA for $500,000.It is important to note that joint accounts titled with the same owners are insured aggregately to $250,000 regardless of how many different accounts there are.

Enjoy peace of mind in knowing that no member has ever lost money insured by NCUSIF.
