Federal Credit Union: NCUA is the regulator for ALL federal credit unions. Federal credit unions generally have the word "federal" in its name. Additionally, credit unions with headquarters in Arkansas, Delaware, South Dakota, Wyoming or the District of Columbia, are federal credit unions.
State-Chartered Credit Union: If a credit union does not have the word "federal" as a part of its name and is not headquartered in Arkansas, Delaware, South Dakota, Wyoming or the District of Columbia, then it is probably a state-chartered credit union, and the state supervisory authority where the credit union's main office is located will usually be the regulator.
