What is an Extended Insurance Account?
An Extended Insurance Account provides millions of dollars of extended NCUA insurance on your deposits by distributing your balances in amounts of
$250,000 or less to partner credit unions in the ModernFi network. By placing excess funds in increments of $250,00 or less,
your entire balance can fully be insured by the NCUA. These accounts combine to provide you with extended insurance coverage.
How do Extended Insurance Accounts work?
With Achieva’s Extended Insurance Account, excess deposits are automatically split into portions below $250,000
and distributed among a network of partner credit unions. This ensures every portion remains within NCUA insurance limits while expanding coverage up to
$15 million* total per member. Best of all, you manage your funds through your Achieva membership.
There is no hassle with multiple logins or separate statements. Everything operates in the background, keeping your funds protected and accessible.
Who can open an Extended Insurance Account?
Business, personal, and nonprofit members seeking added protection for large deposits while maintaining a single banking relationship with
Achieva Credit Union.
What is ModernFi?
ModernFi is a credit union network that Achieva joined to help protect your balances by distributing funds across partner institutions for extended
NCUA share insurance.
Which other credit unions will my funds be placed with?
ModernFi, our deposit network provider, partners with credit unions in good regulatory standing and complies with all
Anti-Money Laundering and Know Your Customer requirements. ModernFi only places deposits with US-based
NCUA-insured credit unions that are monitored by a U.S. federal or state government agency responsible for supervising financial institutions.
Will I still have access to my funds?
Yes, you will have full visibility and access to your deposits through the member portal in Achieva’s Online Banking system.
You control the account just like a regular transaction account.
The portal allows you to view your balance and request withdrawals from your Extended Insurance account.
If you would like to deposit funds, you can do so directly with Achieva’s branch team. Achieva manages and oversees your allocation.
We ensure funds are distributed to demand deposit accounts within your network of credit unions.

The cost of this added insurance is covered by Achieva, so you get the benefits of extended coverage without paying anything extra.
This is part of Achieva’s ongoing commitment to provide exceptional value and peace of mind to each member.
Where are my funds held?

How secure are Extended Insurance Accounts?
Extended Insurance Accounts offer robust security, safeguarding funds up to $250,000 per member at each participating credit union through NCUA insurance.
Since 1970, no member has lost NCUA-insured funds from a credit union failure.
In the rare event of a failure, the NCUA settles deposit claims, and funds are typically disbursed within a few business days.
Achieva and ModernFi ensure all required filings are completed to ensure prompt payment.
