TUCU members will immediately become members of Numerica Credit Union, and their accounts remain federally insured by the NCUA Insurance Fund up to at least $250,000.

Numerica Credit Union has $1 billion in assets and serves approximately 84,000 members. Alaska USA Federal Credit Union has $4.1 billion in assets and serves approximately 399,000 members.

TUCU had approximately $11.9 million in assets and served 3,115 members.
