The National Credit Union Administration is the independent federal agency that regulates, charters and supervises federal credit unions. NCUA, with the backing of the full faith and credit of the U.S. government, also operates and manages the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund (NCUSIF), insuring the deposits of over 85 million account holders in all federal credit unions and the majority of state-chartered credit unions.

The Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), a bureau within the U.S. Department of the Treasury, is the administrator of the BSA. FinCEN has promulgated regulations requiring financial institutions to report suspicious transactions, as well as implement anti-money laundering and customer identification programs. Financial institutions currently subject to these requirements include, among others, credit unions.
