What is DIF Insurance?

The DIF is a private, industry-sponsored excess insurance fund that insures all deposits above FDIC limits at Massachusetts-chartered savings and co-operative banks. The DIF has been insuring deposits since 1934. All DIF member banks are also members of the FDIC but not all FDIC member banks are DIF banks. Each depositor is insured by the FDIC to at least $250,000. All deposits above the FDIC insurance amount are insured by the DIF.

The combination of FDIC and DIF insurance allows us to provide our customers with full deposit insurance on all their deposit accounts at no additional cost. No depositor has ever lost a penny in a bank insured by both the FDIC and the DIF.
