Federal Insurance and Charter Status
Ithinkfi operates as a federally insured, state-chartered credit union, safeguarding deposits up to $250,000 per member.
The National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) provides insurance through the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund, and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) oversees our practices. Ithinkfi is headquartered in Delray Beach, Florida, with approximately 25 branches located throughout Florida and Georgia, including Delray Beach and Palm Beach County. The credit union was established in 1969 and has grown to $1.2 billion in assets, serving members from many local companies.
This insurance does NOT apply to investment products such as stocks and bonds, which are not federally insured.
Initially we tried to offer uninsured investment products, but our members preferred the safety of insured deposits, so we discontinued that service.
