NCUA launches new CU search tool

NCUA released an improved online research tool on Tuesday aimed at making detailed information about federally insured credit unions easier to find for consumers.

NCUA's Credit Union Locator features upgraded credit union search functions and turn-by-turn driving directions to reach individual credit unions. The research tool also has a more optimized map feature with "pins" denoting each credit union's location.

This new tool provides consumers with the ability to search for a credit union by name, address, zip code or charter number. If a consumer selects a certain credit union branch, they can see information including a credit union's Web address, phone number and if it has drive-through access.

NCUA also noted its complementary tool Research a Credit Union, which allows consumers to gather information on a credit union's finances, insurance status, field of membership and asset size.
