6 Month Credit Union Certificates of Deposit (CDs)

Credit Unions (CUs) are largely indistinguishable from banks for the average depositor (or borrower). While not FDIC insured, deposits with a CU are insured with basic coverage of up to $250,000 by the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA), a US government agency through the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund (NCUSIF). The NCUA typically maintains the same deposit coverage insurance limits as provided by the FDIC, and like the FDIC Deposit Insurance Fund, the NCUSIF is backed by the full faith and credit of the United States Government. Refer to this NCUA brochure for more details.
