Safe & Secure: Your Money and Account Details
BMI Federal Credit Union is always looking out for your best interests financially. And that commitment extends to your online security too. Just as you expect your money to be safe with us, you can be sure we're doing everything we can to ensure that your personal information is equally safe.
How We Protect You and Your Money
You can bank online with confidence because BMI Federal Credit Union uses the latest encryption and security software to protect your valuable account information.
Federal law requires us to tell you how we collect, share and protect your personal information. You may review our Privacy Policy and practices with respect to your personal information.
Protecting your savings with the highest level of security available is one of our major objectives. That is why we combine your Federal Deposit Insurance Coverage (FDIC) with Excess Deposit Insurance protection from Excess Share Insurance (ESI), a subsidiary of American Share Insurance, the nation's largest private deposit insurer.
Your accounts are currently insured to at least $250,000 by the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA), an agency of the federal government. Additionally, your board of directors has chosen to provide up to an additional $250,000 of savings protection to each qualifying account through ESI.
