Massachusetts Share Insurance
In addition to the NCUA insurance, funds in excess of $250k on deposit with MCU are also covered by the Massachusetts Share Insurance Corporation.
MSIC fully insures excess shares and deposits above the federal insurance limit of $250,000 at ALL of its member credit unions. Prior to 2010, deposits were only insured up to $600,000 or $1.2 million for accounts held jointly or by organizations. As of November 7, 2010, these deposit limits have been removed and MSIC now fully insures excess shares and deposits without limits that exceed NCUSIF coverage..
