Share Insurance Fund
In addition to being FDIC insured, Stoughton Co-operative Bank’s deposits are also covered by the Share Insurance Fund. According to the Bank’s website, “There are no maximum account limitations or amount limitations.”
The Share Insurance Fund (SIF) is a private fund owned by the member co-operative banks, which insures all deposits at co-operative banks in Massachusetts above Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) limits.
Since its inception, the Share Insurance Fund has preserved the enviable claim of member co-operative banks that “no depositor has ever lost a dollar in any Massachusetts co-operative bank.”
