Rally Credit Union is supervised by the National Credit Union Administration, commonly referred to as NCUA.

NCUA, a federal government agency, also operates and manages the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund (NCUSIF). Backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government, NCUSIF insures the accounts of millions of account holders in all federal credit unions and the vast majority of state chartered credit unions.

The NCUSIF provides all members of federally insured credit unions with $250,000 in coverage for their individual accounts. These accounts include regular shares (savings), share drafts (checking), money market accounts, and share certificates (certificate of deposits). Individuals with account balances totaling $250,000 or less at the same insured credit union have full NCUSIF coverage. If a person has more than $250,000 at any single credit union, several options are available for additional coverage. While NCUSIF coverage protects members at federally insured credit unions from losses on a broad spectrum of savings account and share draft products, it does not cover losses on money invested in mutual funds, stocks, bonds, life insurance policies, and annuities.

This may be due to Regulations D. Reg D means no more than six (6) transfer or withdrawals per calendar month to another account of the member's by means of preauthorized or automatic transfer or telephonic agreement or to a third party.

Transactions that count as one of the six:

1. Account to account transfers by telephone (whether by calling the Credit Union or using our audio response system)
2. Overdraft protection
3. Checks to third parties
4. ACH Debits
5. Automatic sweep (auto transfer from account to account on any designated day)
6. Transfers to third party accounts

You will be able to transfer out of your savings account electronically on the 1^st of the following month.  You may still conduct transactions in person at an ATM or any branch out of your savings account.

The “fast cash” option at ATMs automatically defaults to withdrawal from a checking account. Because your Rally Savings ATM card can access only the funds in your savings account, it won’t work with the fast-cash option. Instead, select the “withdraw” option, then select your savings account as the account for your withdrawal.
