FEDERAL CREDIT UNION - FCU
A credit union chartered and supervised by the National Credit Union Association (NCUA), a federal government agency that functions much like the FDIC. Federal credit unions operate like retail banks with one major exception: every credit union member is also a partial owner of the institution. Credit unions operating under the label "federal" are not directly run by the government or limited to government employees. Rather, they've simply opted to organize themselves under federal credit union regulations instead of state banking laws.
