The short answer is YES. Here are few important things to know about how Maine credit unions are protected:
Federally insured credit unions offer a safe place for credit union members to save money. These deposits are protected by the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund and insured up to at least $250,000 per individual depositor – the same as any other federally insured financial institution.
Credit union deposits in federally insured credit unions are safe and secure, and all Maine credit unions are federally insured.
Credit union members have never lost a penny of insured savings at a federally insured credit union.
All Maine credit unions are regularly examined by financial regulators to ensure proper management and maintain the safety and soundness of members’ money within the institution.

Yes, teens age 14 and older can open checking accounts and get a debit card, as long as there is a parent or guardian also on the account. The responsible adult will need to fill out a minor addendum stating that they are responsible for losses incurred on the minor’s savings and checking accounts. We love to see our younger members learning how to be responsible and are happy to help them, anytime!
Breaches normally occur at the processor or store level, and we’re set up to protect you. All Acadia FCU members have 0% liability when it comes to fraudulent transactions. If a merchant is breached or compromised and your card info is stolen, you will never be left unprotected.
If you see questionable transactions on your account, please report them to any of our branches right away. We maintain state-of-the-art fraud protection to guard our members’ personal information around the clock.
Yes, you can. We even offer “Instant Issue” debit cards, which means that we print your card in five minutes. No more waiting 7-10 business days to get your card in the mail!
There is no minimum opening deposit required for Acadia FCU Advantage checking accounts.

My family has five generations of members beginning with my grandmother all the way to my grandchildren. In 2008 when we lost our home to the flood, Acadia helped us move on with our lives. It was a time when we needed hope and answers, and Acadia was there. Bonita C., member since 2006
