National Credit Union Administration

The National Credit Union Administration is the federal agency that charters and supervises 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 United States government. Its mission is to facilitate the availability of credit union services to all eligible consumers especially those of modest means through a regulatory environment that fosters a safe and sound credit union system. To achieve this, the agency has adopted the core values of integrity, accountability, teamwork, objectivity, and independence, which collectively support its ability to meet key priorities and ultimately achieve mission fulfillment.
