About
About
Created by the U.S. Congress in 1970, the National Credit Union Administration is an independent federal agency that insures deposits at federally insured credit unions, protects the members who own credit unions, and charters and regulates federal credit unions.
Regulation & Supervision
Regulation & Supervision
The NCUA protects the safety and soundness of the credit union system by identifying, monitoring and reducing risks to the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund. Backed by the full faith and credit of the United States, the Share Insurance Fund provides up to $250,000 of federal share insurance to millions of account holders in all federal credit unions and the overwhelming majority of state-chartered credit unions.
Analysis

Users can find information on a single credit union or analyze broader nation-wide trends.

Cybersecurity Resources
Cybersecurity Resources
Cyberattacks and cybersecurity vulnerabilities pose significant risks to the financial system. Because of vulnerabilities within the credit union industry and the broader financial system to potential cyberattacks, cybersecurity is one of the NCUA’s top supervisory priorities and a top-tier risk under the agency’s enterprise risk-management program.

Filing Claims

If a credit union placed into liquidation owes you money for a service or product provided, you may need to file a claim. Please note that members do not need to claim their share insurance.

To file a claim, all creditors must follow the steps below for funds owed to you by the liquidated credit union for a product, service, or lease.

Confirm you are within the claims period. Search for the credit union on the Conservatorships and Liquidations page and select the credit union name to view the Creditor Notice. The deadline for filing claims is in the Creditor Notice.
Complete a Proof of Claim Form. You may attach a separate document if additional space is needed.
Attach documents that support the amount you are claiming. Examples include agreements, contracts, invoices, work orders, statements, etc.
Submit the Proof of Claim Form and the attachments via one of the following methods:
