Central Credit Union Remains Financially Strong Making Loans And Offering A Safe, Secure Place For Deposits With A Recent Increase In Federal Deposit Insurance Coverage.
 
In recent months, news of the nation’s economic situation has been troubling.  Amidst ongoing reports of failing institutions, we want to again reassure you that Central Credit Union Of Illinois remains financially strong.  We continue to be well capitalized, and we’re open for business – making loans and providing a safe and secure place for you to grow your money like we’ve been doing since 1936.

Unlike many other financial institutions that you’re hearing about in the news, we did not engage in sub-prime mortgage lending, and we don’t make risky investments.  As a result, we have not been adversely affected by the so-called “credit crunch.”  We’re continuing to make loans and are serving our existing members as well as welcoming new ones to assist however possible during these difficult times.

 

In an effort to stabilize the economy, on Friday Congress passed the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act Of 2008, which was signed into law.  One of the provisions of the law was to increase the amount of federal deposit insurance available to credit union members through the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA), a U.S. Government Agency.  As a result of the legislation, member deposits at Central Credit Union Of Illinois are now federally insured to at least $250,000, up from the previous minimum of $100,000.  This is the same amount of coverage provided for bank deposits through FDIC-insured banks.

Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) are insured separately for up to $250,000 per person.  Insurance limits may be even higher depending on how your accounts are titled.

 
The increase in the amount of coverage is temporary and will remain in effect at least through December 31, 2009 at which time the additional coverage may be discontinued, extended or made permanent.

We’d like to remind you that according to NCUA, “Not one penny of insured savings has ever been lost by a member of a federally insured credit union.”  If you have any questions about the safety of your credit union deposits, please ask.  You can call Member Services at (708) 649-6410.  We also invite you to visit www.ncua.gov for more information on our federal deposit insurance.  You can also call the NCUA Insurance Call Center, operating from 8 a.m.-6:30 p.m. (EDT) Monday through Friday, and speak with an expert regarding coverage provided by NCUA share insurance.  The toll-free number is (800) 755-1030, extension 1.
