NorthStar Credit Union is a member-owned & operated,
not-for-profit financial cooperative. Unlike a bank or
S & L, NorthStar operates as a full service financial
institution for the benefit of our membership, not to
satisfy the profitable desires of a few select stockholders.
Because you a depositor/owner, we
work for you. There are no stockholders to pay
because all of our members are "shareholders" with
an equal share in the credit union, therefore, our
profits are returned to you in the form of higher dividends.
With savings accounts
from NorthStar, you can have peace of mind knowing
your funds are safe and secure! All
NorthStar savings accounts are Federally Insured
by the National Credit Union Share Insurance
Fund of $100,000 per account.
The National Credit Union Share Insurance
Fund (NCUSIF) is an arm of the National
Credit Union Administration (NCUA), an independent
agency of the United States Government. Your share insurance
is similar to the deposit insurance provided by the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation. The NCUSIF maintains at
or near 1.30 percent of federally insured credit union
deposits.
No federal tax dollars have ever been
placed in the credit union financial fund. Unlike banks
or savings and loans, there has been no taxpayer bail
out of a federally insured credit union!
However, there are exceptions. For more
information, please contact our Member Services Department
at 630.393.7201 or 800.983.6828 outside of the Chicagoland
area.
