The National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund (NCUSIF) is a program that helps protect people's money if their credit union fails. It was created in 1970 and is run by the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA). The NCUSIF insures deposits made by credit union members, which means that if a credit union fails, the NCUSIF will pay back the insured deposits. The NCUSIF is funded by participating credit unions and provides insurance coverage for individual accounts, joint accounts, IRAs, KEOGHs, and trusts. It does not cover losses on investments in mutual funds, stocks, bonds, life insurance policies, or annuities. The NCUSIF is backed by the United States government and no member has ever lost money from accounts insured by the NCUSIF.
