American Share Insurance (ASI) Disclaimer

American Share Insurance (ASI) is an Ohio-based share guaranty corporation that provides deposit insurance exclusively to credit unions. Founded in 1974 by credit union activists, ASI is the nation's largest private deposit insurer for credit unions and has operated in a safe and sound manner since its incorporation. ASI began offing excess share insurance in 1983 and no member of an ASI-insured credit union has ever lost money in an ASI-insured account.

ASI excess provides up to $250,000 of additional protection on member share (deposit) accounts. By adding this coverage to the credit union's primary insurance limits, individual members can take comfort in knowing their funds are safe and secure. ASI insures credit unions and only credit unions.

The corporation is licensed by the Ohio Department of Insurance, and is dual regulated by the Ohio Department of Insurance and Ohio Department of Commerce. Further, regulatory examiners from each state in which ASI operates are invited to participate in Ohio's annual examination of the corporation. ASI has always been, and continues to be, in good standing with regulators in all states of operation. Annually, ASI's financial statements are audited by a nationally recognized "Big 4" CPA firm and its loss reserves are certified by internationally recognized actuaries.
