How nice that the current bank has the unlimited SIF insurance coverage and the new bank has the unlimited DIF coverage. Often these special Massachusetts insurance coverages are lost after a merger since the new bank isn't in either category, i. e. being a bank with branches outside of Massachusetts or being a bank within Massachusetts that doesn't qualify for either coverage.

It'll be interesting to see how this changes.
A commenter provided the following info about SIF and DIF in this post:
DIF insurance applies to all MA state-chartered savings banks. Most of which have "Savings Bank" in their names. See DIF webpage which lists all such banks.
SIF insurance applies to all MA co-operative banks. Most of which have "Co-operative Bank" in their names. See SIF webpage.
