How the Account Works

With P1FCU's Extended Insurance Account, your large deposits don't sit in one place; they're automatically split into smaller chunks and spread across a network of partner credit unions. Each chunk stays under the standard $250,000 NCUA insurance limit, so your total balance, up to $10 million*, gets full federal coverage.

The best part? You still manage it all through one account. There's no juggling multiple logins or tracking different statements. Everything happens behind the scenes, so your funds stay safe and accessible, and they work for you without the extra hassle.



An Extended Insurance Account provides millions of extended NCUA insurance on your deposits by distributing your balances in amounts under the $250,000 threshold to partner credit unions in the ModernFi network. By placing funds under the limit, your entire balance can be insured by the NCUA. These accounts combine to provide you with extended insurance coverage.


ModernFi is a network of credit unions that P1FCU has joined to help better protect your balances by distributing funds across partner credit unions to offer extended NCUA share insurance.


Suppose you have $1 million that you want to safeguard and earn interest on. You can achieve this by depositing the full amount with Credit Union 1 through an Extended Insurance Account. The money is then distributed into smaller portions and placed in demand deposit accounts at various credit unions within the network. The first $250,000 will be allocated to Credit Union 1, another $250,000 to Credit Union 2, an additional $250,000 to Credit Union 3, and the remaining $250,000 to Credit Union 4. All of these credit unions are partnered with the ModernFi Network. This allocation helps ensure that each dollar is covered by NCUA share insurance, in an amount up to the maximum of $250,000 per share owner per credit union.

Using these Extended Insurance Accounts eliminate the need to keep track of multiple accounts at various credit unions. All of your deposits and activity across your allocated credit unions are consolidated into one statement. Additionally, the Extended Insurance Account interest rate is competitive, making it a compelling choice for individuals and businesses with substantial cash reserves.



You control the account just like a regular transaction account. You can deposit, withdraw, or transfer funds at any time through a dedicated Member Portal. P1FCU and ModernFi manage and oversee your allocation, ensuring funds are distributed to demand deposit accounts within the network.


Extended Insurance Accounts offer a high degree of security for your deposits, utilizing NCUA insurance to safeguard funds up to $250,000 per member at each participating credit union. This protection extends even in the event of a participating credit union’s failure, ensuring the continued safety of your deposits. Since the inception of the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund in 1970, no member has lost NCUA-insured funds due to a credit union's failure. All accounts at NCUA-insured credit unions are covered on a dollar-for-dollar basis, encompassing principal plus any interest accrued.

In the unlikely event a credit union fails, the NCUA assumes the responsibility of closing the credit union, receives its assets, and settles all deposit claims. Credit Union 1 works with ModernFi to file all required materials with the NCUA to coordinate the receipt of your funds from the failed institution. Payment starts within a few business days after the credit union closure. For more information on NCUA insurance, please visit here.



Opening an Extended Insurance Account is quick and easy with P1FCU. Simply contact your relationship manager or visit your nearest branch to open an account and start taking advantage of the benefits offered by the Extended Insurance Account.

After account opening, you will gain access to the “Member Portal” to view details on your Extended Insurance Account. You can view statements and your allocations throughout the network at any time, so you always know your money is safe with credit unions you know and trust.

*Insurance provided through program credit unions (subject to certain conditions).

Funds participating in the P1FCU Extended Insurance Account are deposited into accounts at participating credit unions, which are insured by the National Credit Union Association (NCUA) for up to $250,000 for each category of legal ownership, including any other balances you may hold directly or through other intermediaries, including broker-dealers. The total amount of NCUA insurance for your account depends on the number of credit unions in the program. If the balance in your account is greater than the NCUA insurance coverage in the program, any excess funds will not be insured. Please read the Program Terms and Conditions carefully before depositing money into the program and for other important customer disclosures and information. To assure your NCUA coverage, please regularly review credit unions in which your funds have been deposited, and notify P1FCU immediately if you do not want to allocate funds to a particular credit union or credit unions.
