At Community South, your deposits are federally insured by the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) up to $250,000. So you don't have to worry — your money is safe with us!

How does it work? Let's take Diana Hatch as an example. Diana may have a Certificate of Deposit for the amount of $250,000 in her name only. She can open up another CD with a joint-owner on the account, perhaps her husband or one of her children, and have NCUA federal insurance on that account too.

As long as there is a different joint-owner or beneficiary on each account, a member can exceed $250,000 in deposits and still have NCUA federal insurance on all their funds at the credit union. If a member has four beneficiaries, then they can get up to $1,000,000 of NCUA insurance (in this example the beneficiaries can include a spouse, child, grandchild, parent or sibling of the owner of the funds).

This same scenario rings true for any combination of deposit accounts, including money market accounts, share savings accounts and checking accounts.
