The San Francisco Federal Credit Union is a member in good standing with the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA), an independent federal agency that charters and supervises federal credit unions.

Backed by the U.S. government, the NCUA, also operates the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund (NCUSIF) insuring the savings of 80 million account holders in all federal credit unions, including our own, for up to $250,000 for IRA accounts and up to $250,000 for all other accounts.

If your savings exceed the amount covered by the basic insurance limits, you can extend your NCUA coverage by establishing different types of accounts or additional beneficiaries.
