Member services won’t be impacted at either credit union as agency works to resolve issues.
The NCUA on Friday assumed control of two West Virginia federal credit unions that agency officials said had engaged in unsafe and unsound practices.
The agency placed both O.F. Toalston Federal Credit Union in Logan, W.V. and Mingo County Education Federal Credit Union in Williamson, W.V. into conservatorship.
The NCUA noted that member deposits at each credit union would remain protected by the agency’s Share Insurance Fund. Members will also still be able to conduct financial transactions and access member services at both institutions as the NCUA works “to resolve issues affecting the credit union’s operations.”
