FAQs
Can I be sure that my deposits are safe?
The National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) insures MCU deposits, so you can trust that your funds are safe.

Your savings are federally insured to at least $250,000 by the full faith and credit of the United States Government. Additionally, the Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act (BAPCPA) provides federal production to IRAs up to $1 million (some restrictions may apply depending on roll-over status and uniquely unqualified accounts).
