INCREASE IN NCUA SHARE INSURANCE- Effective 4-1-06
Insured share accounts are backed by the full faith and credit of the US government. By an act of Congress, this statement is now part of thenew official symbol of the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA), which insures your share accounts with GSCU. It's the best guarantee you can get. And, it just got better. While other basic account ownerships remain at a $100,000 insured limit, individual retirement account (IRA) shares of each IRA owner are now insured by the NCUA to the amount of $250,000. This increased coverage for IRAs brings an opportunity to remind you that share insurance is defined by "ownership". And, each ownership is insured seperately, so you could have several different accounts with us and be fully insured to amounts well in the excess of the basic limit of $100,000. More information is available for you in our "Are You Covered- NCUA Coverage on your Insured Deposits" brochure. Call or stop by today.
