FAQs

Get Answers to Our Most Frequently Asked Questions.

What makes MCU different from a "'normal" bank?

A credit union is a not-for-profit financial institution cooperatively owned by its members. Typically, this ensures that policies and rates benefit members collectively rather than shareholder dividends. Earnings go back to members in the form of better rates, fewer fees, improvements to our services, and investments in our communities.

Can I be sure that my deposits are safe?

The National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) insures MCU deposits, so you can trust that your funds are safe. The NCUA is an independent federal agency that insures deposits at federally insured credit unions, protects the members who own credit unions, and charters and regulates federal credit unions. Your savings are federally insured to at least $250,000 by the full faith and credit of the United States Government. Additionally, the Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act (BAPCPA) provides federal production to IRAs up to $1 million (some restrictions may apply depending on roll-over status and uniquely unqualified accounts).

Why do credit unions have members?

To join a credit union, you must belong to the “field of membership” that it serves. The field of membership is the common link that all members of a credit union share and it can be based on employer, geographic location (e.g. New York City), membership in another group (a church, school, labor union), or being family with a credit union member.

How do I find a free ATM to use?

Find an ATM near you by inputting your zip code or sharing your current location on the device you’re using, here. If you’re wary of turning on location services, remember that you can adjust your selection in settings or in the Permissions settings of the browser you’re using.
