§ 14406 Credit Union Deposit Rules

This law says a credit union can only put its money (like savings, profits, and reserves) into certain kinds of banks or credit unions that are officially insured.

Key Takeaways

  • •Credit unions must keep their money in approved institutions only.
  • •Approved places include state commercial banks, national banks, insured credit unions, and insured savings‑and‑loan associations.
  • •The institutions must be insured under federal rules or approved by the state commissioner.

Example

A local credit union has earned $500,000 in profit and wants to keep it safe.

The credit union can only deposit that profit in a state‑chartered commercial bank, a national bank that works in the state, another credit union that has federal insurance, or an insured savings‑and‑loan association. If it tried to put the money in an un‑insured online bank, it would be breaking the law.
