Download Dear Member, NAFT Federal Credit Union would like to assure you

Dear Member,
NAFT Federal Credit Union would like to assure you that your investments are safe with us.
With recent news focusing on the difficulties some financial institutions are currently
experiencing, many consumers are becoming concerned about the safety of their money. At
NAFT Federal Credit Union, we would like to put your worries at ease by letting you know the
facts about federal share insurance and where NAFT FCU stands in regards to these current
issues:

NAFT FCU is federally insured by the NCUA (National Credit Union Administration), a
U.S. Government Agency.
The NCUSIF (National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund), governed by NCUA,
insures member accounts up to $250,000. If structured correctly, it is possible for
members to have more than $1 million in share insurance coverage. We invite you to
come into the Credit Union so we can advise you how to structure the accounts if you
have over $250,000 in deposits with us.
Never has a member of a federally insured credit union like NAFT FCU lost any of their
insured savings.
Mortgage loans, which have been the cause of many of the current problems facing
financial institutions, account for only .07% of NAFT FCU’s total loan portfolio.
NAFT FCU is very conservative when approving mortgage loans, land loans and home
equity loans as part of its line of products and services.
NAFT FCU has never been involved in granting sub-prime mortgages.
NAFT FCU has never had any write offs in our mortgage loan portfolio.
Home equity loans account for only 2.18% of our total loan portfolio.
NAFT FCU’s total delinquency ratio for loans is 1.24% which by NCUA standards falls
within their highest rating for a credit union.
NAFT FCU’s Net Worth is currently 10.61%, which by NCUA standards is well
capitalized. Any ratio below 7% must have a capital restoration plan in place. The Board
of Directors has a policy that states this credit union will not go below 8% in net worth.
NAFT FCU has consistently received the highest ratings from the NCUA, the federal
regulatory agency for federal credit unions.
NAFT FCU has an Asset Liability Management Committee assigned to mitigating the
credit union’s investment risk. This committee assesses each investment company’s
status each year and reports any changes to the board of directors.
All credit unions are required to place the previous month’s balance sheet in a
conspicuous place at every office of the credit union.
