Funds Deposited at Sound are Insured by the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA)The National Credit Union Administration, commonly referred to as NCUA, is the federal government agency that charters and supervises federal credit unions. NCUA also operates and manages the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund (NCUSIF). Backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government, NCUSIF insures the accounts of millions of account holders in all federal credit unions and the vast majority of state-chartered credit unions. Your share insurance is similar to the deposit insurance protection offered by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). The Helping Families Save Their Homes Act of 2009, signed into law May 20, 2009, includes a provision extending $250,000 share insurance coverage provided by the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund through December 31, 2013. Insurance coverage on retirement accounts, which already stood at $250,000, remains unchanged. The NCUA insurance experts are just a phone call away. If you have questions about the insurance coverage provided by NCUA, you may call them, toll-free, at 800.755.1030, extension 1, from 8 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. (ET) Monday through Friday.
