Obama Signs IOLTA Bill

Obama Signs IOLTA Bill

Yesterday, President Obama signed the “Credit Union Share Insurance Fund Parity Act” that will allow share insurance coverage for escrow accounts, such as lawyers’ IOLTA accounts, which have been covered for some time under the FDIC for banks. NCUA may still have to make changes to its regulations before federally-insured credit unions can begin offering these accounts to their members. [12/19/14]
