Depositors Insurance Fund

Until fairly recently, HarborOne deposits were insured by both the FDIC and Depositors Insurance Fund (DIF). (DIF is a private, industry-sponsored insurance fund that insures all deposits above FDIC limits at its member banks.) As stated on of the Deposit Insurance page,

Why is HarborOne Bank exiting DIF?

HarborOne Bank’s substantial deposit growth has caused the Bank to reach and exceed the maximum deposit level allowed by DIF for member banks. This is the result of sustained growth, thanks to the trust that our customers have placed in us.

When will the DIF coverage on my account(s) end?

HarborOne Bank will officially exit the DIF at 5 p.m. local time on February 24, 2023. Accounts opened after this date and time are not be covered by DIF insurance.

All money in checking, savings and money market accounts at HarborOne Bank as of 5 p.m. local time on February 24, 2023 will remain covered by DIF insurance for one full year, until February 24, 2024 (the “grace period”). If additional funds are added to existing checking, savings or money market accounts during the grace period, they will not be insured by DIF.

Certificates of Deposit (CDs) opened on or before 5 p.m. local time on February 24, 2023 will continue to be insured by DIF until maturity.
