The NCUA and the Credit Union Movement

The National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) is an independent federal agency that was created in 1970 to charter and regulate federal credit unions and insure the deposits of members at all federally insured credit unions. The NCUA is important to the credit union movement because it helps to ensure the safety and soundness of credit unions and protects the interests of credit union members. There is an important connection between the goals of the NCUA and the credit union movement.
