Access Across America promotes and facilitates the extension of affordable financial services to individuals and communities across the country. Access Across America highlights partnerships with federal agencies that empower credit unions with the education, technical resources and finances to provide much needed services, especially in underserved areas.
The National Credit Union Administration is the independent federal agency that charters and supervises federal credit unions. NCUA, with the backing of the full faith and credit of the U.S. government, operates the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund (NCUSIF), insuring the savings of 85 million members in all federal credit unions and the vast majority of state-chartered credit unions. NCUA is supported by credit unions, not federal tax dollars.
