The
NCUA Board has increased share insurance limits to $250,000 for
retirement accounts such as Traditional and Roth IRAs (Individual
Retirement Accounts). Your regular share accounts remain federally insured
to at least $250,000 and backed by the full faith and credit of the
United States Government. |
If you have
more than one account at TEFCU, the accounts are added together and insured up
to $250,000. However, there are exceptions. Share accounts maintained in
different rights or capacities, or forms of ownership, may each be separately
insured up to $250,000 and $250,000 for certain retirement accounts.
For example, a family of four may have up to $4.5 million in NCUSIF coverage:

As a member of
TEFCU, you do not pay directly for your share insurance protection. TEFCU pays
into the NCUSIF a deposit, and an insurance assessment, based on the total
amount of insured shares and deposits in the credit union. Insured credit unions
are required to deposit and maintain one percent of their insured shares and
deposits in the NCUSIF.
