Financial Resiliency

Tech CU’s uniquely diversified business model is the foundation of our financial resiliency. During our 60+ year history, we’ve developed products to address members’ evolving needs and we’ve expanded beyond California - our income derives from diverse products across a national footprint.

Additionally, as a members-first credit union, we are not subject to short-term pressures to deliver profits to stockholders. We take a long-term view focused on meeting our members’ needs by proactively maintaining a steady and well-balanced operation.

Here are a few key measures that reflect our financial resiliency:

• Tech CU is exceptionally well-capitalized at 11% Net Worth Ratio versus the highest industry classification of “Well-Capitalized” which is 7%.
• We run a highly efficient operation. Our 2022 Efficiency Ratio¹ of 51.64% is 18 points better than the average for credit unions our size.
• Standing at 0.93% of total loans, our conservative allowance for loan loss is at the high end of our peer group.

We strive to meet and exceed regulatory requirements. To learn more about Tech CU’s strong financial profile, please see our 2022 Annual Report.

Your Deposits Are Federally Insured

As a member of a credit union, you are covered by federal deposit insurance through the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA). This insurance provides coverage to at least $250,000 depending on how your deposit accounts are set up.

To help you better understand how federal deposit insurance works, the NCUA has published a brochure and offers various tools on its website, including a calculator that allows you to input different account ownership structures to see how they impact your insurance coverage.

To help explain how to use the NCUA calculator, we’ve created this video for our members.

We’ll be happy to provide more explanation of NCUA federal deposit insurance and walk you through scenarios to optimize your deposit insurance. Please reach out to a banker by contacting us through one of the means at the bottom of this page.
