What's NewFUNDS AVAILABILITY POLICY CHANGE Our Funds Availability Policy explains when funds from deposits to certain accounts you have with us will be available for withdrawal. This Notice describes a change to that policy statement. This change was effective July 21, 2011. If you have any questions about this change, please contact us. Our previous policy disclosure described certain circumstances when the first $100 of a deposit would be available on the first business day after the day of deposit. The remaining funds from the deposit would be available at a later date. After the effective date of the change, the amount that will be available on the first business day after the day of deposit increased from $100 to $200.

This temporary unlimited coverage is in addition to, and separate from, the coverage of at least $250,000 available to members under the NCUA's general share insurance rules. The term noninterest-bearing transaction account includes a traditional share draft account (or demand deposit account) on which the insured credit union pays no interest or dividend. It does not include any transaction account that may earn interest or dividends, a negotiable order of withdrawal (NOW) account, money-market deposit account, and Interest on Lawyers Trust Account (IOLTA), even if shares drafts may be drawn on the account.

Click Here For More Details LIFE SAVINGS INSURANCE PROGRAM After careful consideration of all the factors involved, we must revise our Life Savings Insurance program, the life insurance that we've made available at no direct cost to our members. New deposits will no longer be eligible for Life Savings Insurance beginning April 30, 2010. IMPORTANT: This change does not affect your existing Life Savings Insurance coverage on eligible deposits made before April 30, 2010. These deposits will remain eligible until the original deposits are withdrawn or the policy canceled. You will want to keep in mind that because the Life Savings Insurance group policy is offered at the discretion of the credit union, it should not be regarded as permanent insurance. Any CUNA Mutual Life Savings Certificate of Insurance you have is valid only for eligible deposits made prior to April 30, 2010. The maximum total balance eligible for Life Savings Insurance is $4,000 per member. If you have any questions regarding this change, please contact our credit union office.
