NCUA vs FDIC according to Google/Bankrate: Both the NCUA and FDIC are responsible for insuring funds in the event that a financial institution fails. The NCUA insures credit union accounts, while the FDIC provides federal insurance for bank accounts. They both come with the same limits on insurance coverage.
NCUA website: The NCUA does not insure money invested in stocks, bonds, mutual funds, life insurance policies, annuities or municipal securities, even if these investment or insurance products are sold at a federally insured credit union.
Their page to join has a form to fill out and it says a member of their team will call you.
"After submitting your application, one of our team members will reach out to you within one business day."
EDIT : Think I answered my own question :

That then links to the form to join I found before.
