Extended Insurance Account

Secure your personal savings with up to $10M in protection

Save Securely with our Extended Insurance Accounts

Do you have unsecured deposits exceeding the standard $250,000 NCUA insurance limit? Is your money distributed through multiple credit unions? UCCU has a solution for you! Through an Extended Insurance Account, your funds can be strategically distributed across multiple NCUA-insured credit unions while being managed through a single convenient UCCU savings account, providing millions in potential insurance coverage without sacrificing accessibility or competitive returns.

  • Extended Insurance:
    Your personal savings are protected up to $10 million through our NCUA-Insured partner network, all managed through your UCCU account.
  • Competitive Rates:
    Earn interest on your full balance while protecting your deposits
  • 24/7 Transparency:
    Track your funds and account activity in real-time through our secure mobile app

How Does Extended Insurance Work?

For example, if you have $1 million to safeguard and earn interest on, your funds could be split as follows:

  • $250,000 allocated to Utah Community Credit Union
  • $250,000 allocated to Credit Union 2
  • $250,000 allocated to Credit Union 3
  • $250,000 allocated to Credit Union 4

Each portion remains under the $250,000 NCUA insurance threshold, ensuring full protection while being consolidated into one convenient statement for you.

Full NCUA Protection

Every dollar of your deposit receives the same federal insurance protection, with each portion maintained under the $250,000 threshold at each participating credit union.

Here’s How it Works

1. Initial Deposit

Deposit funds up to 10 million dollars into a UCCU Extended Insurance Savings Account

2. Auto-Sweep

Our system will distribute any funds across partner institutions as needed securing your total deposited amount.

3. Easy Access with Full Visibility

Access all your finds through a single primary account with full visibility to track all movements and balances in real-time.

How does the Extended Insurance Account provide coverage beyond $250,000?

The Extended Insurance Account works by distributing your deposits in amounts under the $250,000 threshold to partner credit unions in the ModernFi Network. By remaining under the $250,000 threshold at each institution, every account remains fully insured by the NCUA. These accounts combine to provide you with millions of extended insurance coverage, all managed through a single account at UCCU.

Who maintains my account?

You can control the account just like a regular transaction account. Deposit, withdraw, or transfer funds at any time at your credit union or through the UCCU online banking. UCCU manages the Extended Insurance Account and funds are distributed within the network.

How do I transfer or withdraw from the account?

To fund the account, members can transfer funds from their existing share draft accounts or savings accounts to their newly opened Extended Insurance Account. The status of their transfer is on the UCCU Online Banking. To withdraw funds from the Extended Insurance Account to their share draft account or savings account at Utah Community Credit Union, members can make a withdrawal request directly on UCCU Online Banking.

How quickly do transfers take from an Extended Account to another UCCU account?

Access your funds with same-day or next-day availability after requesting a transfer from your Extended Insurance Account.
