Share Insurance

NCUA Share Insurance Overview

At Rivermark, we know that your money is important to you. Rest assured that there is no safer place for your money than a federally insured credit union. All of our members’ deposits are federally insured by the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund (NCUSIF), a division of the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA), which is the federal regulator for credit unions.

• The balances in your individual savings, certificate and checking accounts are insured up to $250,000
• Joint ownership can expand the overall insurance coverage. The combined balances in joint accounts are insured separately from individual accounts for up to $250,000 per name on the account. The most federal insurance coverage any member can have as a result of joint ownership is $250,000. (Example: If joint accounts total $500,000 and there are two owners on the account(s), each owner is insured for $250,000.)
• The funds in your IRA are insured up to $250,000.
• Trust Accounts, including Payable on Death Beneficiary accounts, have different rules that may provide additional coverage. Each Trust relationship must be evaluated individually to determine the appropriate eligible insurance coverage.
