The Power of Choice

State-chartered credit unions have the power to better influence the state laws governing them, and as a result, many state-chartered credit unions have the right to choose American Share to protect their members instead of the NCUA. Federally-chartered credit unions have only a single choice when it comes to share insurance—the NCUA, which serves as both their insurer and regulator.
