Security Resources
We take your security seriously
SAG-AFTRA FCU is committed to doing everything we can to help protect members from fraudulent activities. However, members may be exposed to acts of fraudulent activity that are beyond the Credit Union's control and it is ultimately your responsibility to prevent and protect yourself from becoming an unsuspecting victim of identity theft or other fraud or scam.
SAG-AFTRA FCU – and credit union-related organizations such as the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA), the Credit Union National Association (CUNA), and the National Association of Federal Credit Unions (NAFCU) – will never ask members for information in an unsolicited communication.
SAG-AFTRA FCU IS SOUND AND YOUR MONEY IS FEDERALLY INSURED
Shares in SAG-AFTRA FCU are protected by the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund (NCUSIF) and have the U.S. government’s full-faith-and-credit guarantee, the same provided to FDIC-insured deposits in banks. Credit union member shares and bank deposits insured by the two funds are covered to at least $250,000, with individual retirement accounts (IRAs) and Keoghs also protected up to $250,000.
To learn more, see the NCUA Consumer Share Insurance Toolkit or call the NCUA Consumer Assistance Center at (800) 755-1030.
