No, your savings are guaranteed up to €100k in your CU. Might be wise to spread it about so it's easier to access if the credit union did get into trouble. The guarantee might take some tines to sort out.

Might not be (propaganda), but having threads that highlighted the problems of the very few poorly run Credit Unions out of a total of 400 Unions, might infer that the Unions movement is like our Banks ie insolvent.
Credit unions are I think about the only commonly used Financial entity that is secure!
(But then it isn,t run by Financial Professionals !)
