choices!
Watch your
points add up each and every time you shop with your

SAVINGS (SHARE)
ACCOUNT
A
dividend-earning account that establishes Luso-American
CU membership. Make this initial $25 minimum deposit
and, as long as you maintain this balance, you're a
member of Luso-American for life and can enjoy all the
benefits of membership.
NCUA
Your shares are insured by the National Credit Union
Share Insurance Fund (NCUSIF), which like the FDIC's
Insurance Fund, is a federal insurance fund backed by
the full faith and credit of the United States
Government. The National Credit Union Administration (NCUA)
is the federal agency that administers the NCUSIF.
NCUSIF insurance provides up to $250,000 of coverage per
the sum total of all of your accounts (share draft
checking, savings, certificate of deposit) deposits held
in the same type of ownership (e.g. individual, joint,
organizational, IRA). Therefore it is possible to have
over $250,000 on deposit and still be fully insured as
the NCUA calculates deposit insurance based on the type
of ownership ("right and capacity") in which funds are
owned. Any time there is a change in relationship within
a family, such as a birth, death or divorce, the deposit
insurance coverage of your accounts may be affected.
MSIC
Your shares that exceed the NCUA's $250,000 limits are
insured by the Massachusetts Share Insurance Corporation
(MSIC) up to $600,000 for individual accounts,
$1,200,000 for joint accounts, $1,200,000 for
organizational accounts, and an unlimited amount for IRA
accounts. MSIC provides this coverage per the sum total
of all of your accounts (share draft checking, savings,
certificate of deposit) deposits held in the same type
of ownership (e.g. individual, joint, organizational,
IRA). Therefore it is possible to have over $600,000 on
deposit and still be fully insured as MSIC calculates
deposit insurance based on the type of ownership ("right
and capacity") in which funds are owned. The
Massachusetts Share Insurance Corporation was organized
in 1961 for the purpose of maintaining a fund for the
insurance of shares and deposits of members of the
credit unions doing business in the state. MSIC's
authority to act is controlled by the Massachusetts
Legislature. Its activities are supervised by the State
Commissioner of Banks. MSIC insurance is backed solely
by its own assets.
