At RCU, you can trust that your accounts are safe and secure. Below is some information on your insured funds.
The Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008,
signed into law on October 3, 2008, increased the
insurance coverage on all accounts up to $250,000
through December 31, 2009
Properly established share accounts in federally
insured credit unions are insured up to $250,000
If a member has more than one account in
the same credit union, all funds are added together
and insured up to $250,000
A member can have additional coverage on multiple
accounts, but only if the accounts have different
ownership interests or rights in different types of
accounts
Additional coverage is available on revocable trust or payable on death accounts
On joint accounts, the co-owner’s interest in all joint
accounts in the same credit union will be added
together and insured up to $250,000
Traditional and Roth IRAs are insured separately to
$250,000 from other accounts that the member
maintains in the same credit union
However, both Traditional and Roth IRAs are added
together and insured up to $250,000
For revocable trust accounts, a member can have
coverage up to $250,000 for each account that has a different beneficiary named to receive the funds
The charts below show how a typical family may use multiple ownership of accounts to increase the insurance coverage for family funds.
