About
About
Created by the U.S. Congress in 1970, the National Credit Union Administration is an independent federal agency that insures deposits at federally insured credit unions, protects the members who own credit unions, and charters and regulates federal credit unions.
Regulation & Supervision
Regulation & Supervision
The NCUA protects the safety and soundness of the credit union system by identifying, monitoring and reducing risks to the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund. Backed by the full faith and credit of the United States, the Share Insurance Fund provides up to $250,000 of federal share insurance to millions of account holders in all federal credit unions and the overwhelming majority of state-chartered credit unions.
Analysis

The NCUA’s economists and analysts compile data on the credit union system’s financial performance, merger activity, changes in credit union chartering and fields of membership, as well as broader economic trends affecting credit unions. Users can find information on a single credit union or analyze broader nation-wide trends.
Support Services

The NCUA provides a number of support services to the credit union system, such as providing training, grants and loans, chartering, and field-of-membership services; maintaining the health and stability of Share Insurance Fund; managing the assets of failed credit unions; and providing emergency liquidity.

As Prepared for Delivery on May 22, 2024

We are sending Chair Harper well wishes as he recovers and we’re looking forward to his return. I also want to congratulate the NCUA for receiving its award as one of the top 10 best mid-sized government agencies to work for, and the Office of the Chief Economist for 5th best subcomponent.

Eugene and Melissa, this is a testament to your leadership and your team’s dedication to our mission. And everyone has helped make the NCUA a place where people are proud to come to work every day. While there’s always more work to be done to improve and grow as an agency – and we will continue to do that work, it is great to be recognized and I congratulate the dedicated staff of the NCUA on this achievement. Thank you, all.
