NCUA Resources for Financial Planning

October 14, 2026

October is Financial Planning Month, making it the perfect time to review your money habits—and your local credit union is a smart place to start.

Credit unions offer a secure place to manage your savings, thanks to oversight by the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA). Through the Share Insurance Fund (NCUSIF), the NCUA fully protects your deposits just like FDIC insurance protects traditional bank accounts.

Whether you’re an account holder looking to understand your coverage or a credit union official seeking mandatory signage, the Government Publishing Office (GPO) makes it easy to access official agency materials.

What you will find in the NCUA collection:

  • Account & Deposit Insurance Guides: Clear breakdowns explaining coverage limits, individual account protections, and financial literacy resources in both English and Spanish.
  • Official Compliance Signage & Decals: Required placards, decals, and posters (such as Equal Housing Lender posters and NCUA Shared Branch decals) for financial institutions.

Browse the National Credit Union Administration Collection on the GPO Online Bookstore to find insurance booklets in English and Spanish, consumer guidance, and official regulatory decals. Take control of your financial future today!
