We understand you may have concerns and questions about the safety of your accounts at CapEd. We want to reassure our members of the safety and security of their credit union deposits.

You can rest easy knowing, not one penny of insured savings has ever been lost by a member of a federally insured credit union.

We're Federally Insured

CapEd is federally insured by the National Credit Union Association, an independent agency of the U.S. government. The National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund insures your money, and it is protected up to $250,000 per individual depositor. This means each account owner is insured. For example, if you have a joint account with you and your spouse, you are individually insured up to $250,000 and your spouse is also insured up to $250,000 for a total of $500,000 insured funds.

Maximize Your Insurance Coverage

Depending on how your accounts are structured or are set up, you can be insured well beyond $250,000. To better understand how you can structure your accounts, get started by watching this Account Ownership Types Video provided by MyCreditUnion.gov and the NCUA. Another great resource is this "Your Insured Funds" brochure from the NCUA. In this brochure you'll find many simplified examples of how to structure your accounts to maximize your insurance coverage for your whole household.

If you'd like to calculate how much your accounts are insured, check out this Insurance Estimator. You'll need CapEd's charter number, which is 1040, then you can plug in your account type (e.g. single, joint, IRA, etc.) and balance for each of your accounts.

We also recommend visiting or chatting with our trusted CapEd Member Specialists, they'll be able to clarify all your account types, owners and help set you up for financial success.
