How to Scrape NCUA Credit Union Data

Follow these steps to extract the credit union directory:

1. Open the Actor in Apify Console and click Try for free or Start.
2. Set your filters (all optional):
   • State — enter a 2-letter code (e.g., TX) to limit to one state
   • Name Filter — enter a keyword like teachers to match credit unions by name
   • Min / Max Year Opened — narrow to credit unions chartered in a date range
   • Max Results — cap output size (default 500; set to 0 for all records)
3. Click Run. The actor downloads the latest NCUA quarterly data file (~1–5 MB), extracts the credit union roster, applies your filters, and writes records to the dataset.
4. Export results as JSON, CSV, or Excel from the Dataset tab.

Typical runtime: 30–90 seconds for a full national extract.

FAQ

Q: How current is the data? A: The actor fetches the most recent NCUA quarterly call report file available. NCUA publishes updates quarterly (March, June, September, December data). The actor auto-discovers the latest available file.

Q: How many credit unions are in the dataset? A: Approximately 4,700–5,000 federally-insured credit unions nationwide, depending on the quarter.

Q: Can I get branch-level data? A: This actor covers the main FOICU.txt file (credit union headquarters/charter records). The NCUA ZIP also includes a branch information file, which is not included in this actor's scope.

Q: What is the cuType field? A: This is a numeric code from NCUA's raw data file. Common values: 1 = Federal Credit Union (FCU), 2 = State-Chartered Credit Union (SCC). Federal credit unions are regulated directly by NCUA; state-chartered credit unions are regulated by state authorities but federally insured through NCUA.

Q: What does isMDI mean? A: Minority Depository Institution — a designation for credit unions primarily serving minority communities. A value of 1 means the credit union holds MDI status.

Q: Is this data legal to scrape? A: Yes. This data is published by a US federal regulatory agency (NCUA) and is in the public domain. It is not personal consumer data — it is institutional/business data about chartered financial institutions.
