Safe, Sound & Secure

The economic news has certainly been enough to prompt a person to consider the safety of his or her funds. We welcome any inquiries you might have as to the safety and soundness of Ripco Credit Union. We assure you that as your credit union and trusted financial partner, we have not entered into the risky lending practices that have had such a devastating affect on some institutions.

We’d also like to share with you this quote from an August 14, 2008 media release by the NCUA:

“NCUA has been emphasizing the security of federal insurance protection. In July, NCUA issued a media release confirming the secure position of the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund (NCUSIF), and at the July NCUA Board meeting NCUA’s chief financial officer announced that the NCUSIF has a record reserve level. The NCUA Fund, which protects members against loss should a federally insured credit union fail, has an equity level of 1.24 percent and is expected to end the year at 1.28 percent. No member has ever lost a penny of federally insured funds held in a credit union.”
