National Credit Union Administration (NCUA)

An independent agency of the United States Government. NCUA regulates, charters, and insures the nation’s federal credit unions. In addition, NCUA insures state chartered credit unions, like Firstmark Credit Union, which desire and qualify for federal insurance.

The shares in Firstmark Credit Union are insured by the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund (NCUSIF) or the Fund, an arm of NCUA. Established by Congress in 1970 to insure member share accounts at federally insured credit unions, the Fund is managed by NCUA under the direction of the three-person NCUA Board.

Your share insurance is similar to deposit insurance provided by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). Share accounts in federally insured credit unions are insured up to $250,000, an amount equal to the insurance protection offered by the FDIC.

National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund

The National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund (NCUSIF) is the federal fund created by Congress in 1970 to insure member’s deposits in credit unions up to the $250,000 federal limit. Administered by the National Credit Union Administration, the NCUSIF is backed by the “full faith and credit” of the U.S. Government. Click here to learn more.

You can use the new Electronic Share Insurance Estimator at the NCUA web site in order to give you an idea as to the amount of coverage your accounts at the Credit Union carry. Based on the type of deposit account(s) you have, this estimator will determine how much those same accounts are insured for.

Excess Share Insurance (ESI)

Firstmark Credit Union offers members an additional $250,000 in deposit insurance coverage through participation in the Excess Share Insurance program. This coverage provides additional security for members who entrust the credit union with higher deposit balances.

Equal Housing Opportunity

There are several federal laws which provide you with protection during the processing of your loan. The Equal Credit Opportunity Act (ECOA), the Fair Housing Act, and the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) prohibit discrimination and provide you with the right to certain credit information.

No Discrimination. ECOA prohibits lenders from discrimination against credit applicants on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, marital status, age, the fact that all or part of the applicant’s income comes from any public assistance program, or the fact that the applicant has exercised any right under any federal consumer credit protection law. To help government agencies monitor ECOA compliance, your lender or mortgage broker must request certain information regarding your race, sex, marital status and age when taking your loan application.

The Fair Housing Act as amended, prohibits discrimination in the sale, rental, and financing of dwellings, and in other housing-related transactions, based on race, color, national origin, religion, sex, familial status (including children under the age of 18 living with parents of legal custodians, pregnant women, and people securing custody of children under the age of 18), and handicap (disability).

Regulation CC

In line with the Federal Reserve’s Regulation CC (which provides guidelines for consumers and financial institutions related to the availability of funds and collection of checks), credit unions must make funds deposited into transaction accounts available according to specified time schedules. They are allowed to hold funds in certain circumstances, but only for limited periods. Funds from electronic direct deposits to your account will be available on the day we receive the deposit. 

  • Funds may not be available until the second business day after the day of your deposit. However, the first $225.00 of your deposit will be available on the first business day after the day of your deposit. If we are not going to make all of the funds from your deposit available on the same business day.
  • We may delay your ability to withdraw funds deposited by check into your account an additional number of days for these reasons: You deposit checks totaling more than $5,525.00 on any one (1) day. (Longer delays may apply)
  • Funds from deposits of cash, wire transfers, and the first $5,525.00 of a day’s total deposits of cashier’s, certified, teller’s, traveler’s, and federal, state, and local government checks will be available on the next business day after the day of your deposit if the deposit meets certain conditions. (New accounts)

Deposit holds may apply to amounts in excess of the limits shown above. For additional information, please review our funds availability policy in our Membership Guide.
