On November 19, 2025, BayPort reached an exciting milestone by converting to a federal charter, a move designed to open new doors for our members and the communities we serve. This transition gives us the flexibility to grow, expand our service areas, and welcome new member groups.
As a federally chartered credit union, BayPort is regulated by the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA), which provides federal deposit insurance up to $250,000 per individual account, the same secure coverage you trusted under our state charter. And while our charter is evolving, your experience won’t change: your accounts, routing numbers, and the products you depend on remain just as they are today. This change empowers us to serve you even better for years to come.
