National Credit Union Administration

Overview

The National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) is the independent federal agency that supervises and charters federal credit unions and insures savings in federal and most state-chartered credit unions across the country through the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund (NCUSIF), a federal fund backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government. It can be seen as the credit union equivalent of the FDIC.
