Tips for Maximizing the Safety of Your Deposits

As a member of Fortera Credit Union, you are an owner of our not-for-profit financial cooperative. Our first priority is your financial success and security. It is important to us that you are aware of the ways in which your money is safe and working hard for you.

How Your Deposits are Protected

• Federally insured credit unions offer a secure place for members to deposit money. Credit union deposits are protected by the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund and are insured up to at least $250,000 per depositor – the same as any other federally insured financial institution. Since the National Credit Union Administration was founded, credit union members have never lost a penny of insured savings at a federally insured credit union.
  
• The credit union industry remains strong and well capitalized. Unlike the banking system where 50% of deposits are insured, over 90% of credit union deposits are insured by the federal government.

• Fortera Credit Union was chartered almost seven decades ago and continues to be ranked as one of the strongest credit unions in the country. You can be assured that your money is safe and sound at a credit union well poised for the future. We have an experienced team that expertly manages your Credit Union’s performance and is available answer to any questions or concerns you may have. If you have any questions, please reach out to us via text or phone call at 931.431.6800 or you may video or web chat with us.
