Should I use MyCreditUnion.gov?

MyCreditUnion.gov is a financial education resource focused on the non-profit credit union industry from the National Credit Union Administration to help you manage and protect your money. - mycreditunion.gov

· 1 month ago

Use it if you are a consumer or credit union member wanting free, regulator-backed education or to file an NCUA complaint. Skip it if you are shopping for software — nothing here is purchasable; it is a free government website.

Confidence

Medium. Based on 40+ public sources, mostly official NCUA pages plus a few Reddit threads.

Gotchas - check before you buy

Complaint outcomes depend on NCUA's Consumer Assistance Center review process, not instant fixes

Share insurance rules here apply only to credit unions — bank deposits fall under FDIC

Credit unions themselves need NCUA's main site, not this consumer portal, for regulatory resources
