What this institution page is for
This profile concerns North Carolina SECU, charter 66310. Check membership eligibility separately from transaction access: the routing guide distinguishes ACH credits and debits by account type, while wires use dedicated instructions.
Verified identity and regulatory context
Public brand: State Employees' Credit Union (NC). Legal entity used by OUSBI: State Employees' Credit Union. Stable identity key: NCUA charter 66310. Regulatory context: North Carolina Credit Union Division / NCUA insurance framework. Deposit/share insurance: NCUSIF. OUSBI uses the stable regulator identifier rather than matching records only by brand name; that reduces errors when brands, legal entities or similarly named credit unions overlap.
Opening or joining
North Carolina SECU’s eligibility centers on state/public employment and specifically enumerated groups, plus qualifying family relationships. The live Join page is the authority because it also describes documents for different eligibility paths. Use the North Carolina legal identity and charter when checking regulatory records for this institution.
SECU’s standard membership opening deposit is $25 in a share account. Its Join FAQ gives a $5 initial membership exception for children under 13. These are membership shares, separate from a later account’s opening or maintenance requirements.
Choose the right banking workflow
Use the North Carolina SECU identity and current Join categories. For ACH, checking supports credits and debits while CashPoints Global, Share Savings and Money Market Share are listed for credits only. Wires use separate instructions. A credits-only account cannot be treated as an ACH-debit account.

CFPB complaint-data context
SECU is expected to have current public CFPB complaint coverage because it is in the supervised large-institution universe. Complaint analysis must still be normalized and kept separate from official membership or transaction rules.
Important limits
North Carolina residence alone does not establish SECU membership eligibility. The membership share is an ownership deposit. Use charter 66310 to distinguish this institution from similarly named credit unions.
OUSBI Experiences
OUSBI Experiences are a separate evidence layer from official institution facts and CFPB complaint data. Until enough submissions for this institution have been verified and moderated under the Experience Policy, OUSBI shows no user-experience rating, score, “common complaint” claim, or implied consensus. Experiences never override current official rules.

Practical verification checklist
Confirm charter 66310, your qualifying membership category and the documents for that category. For a transaction, identify the account type and whether it is an ACH credit, ACH debit or wire before using routing instructions.
Common questions
Does living in North Carolina make anyone eligible? No. Is the $25 membership share a service fee? No—it is the ownership share balance. Does the current Join page list ITIN as a taxpayer-ID option? Yes, but that does not guarantee every later product. Where should I investigate missing payroll? Use direct-deposit guidance with the payer’s confirmation and ACH trace.
What to prepare before contacting SECU
For membership, gather category-specific proof, acceptable ID and taxpayer information. For ACH/wire issues, keep the routing/account or beneficiary instructions, transaction reference and exact status.
