ASI’S POLICY

To be eligible for excess coverage, the credit union must comply with ASI’s rigid underwriting standards. Also, ASI’s insurance policy requires that every quarter the credit union submit financial statements and a listing of accounts eligible for excess coverage in order to continue coverage. Individual policies are not provided to members, and there is no direct cost to you for this coverage. It is important to note that excess deposit insurance is payable only upon the failure and liquidation of the credit union. The credit union or ASI may terminate or modify this coverage, but in either case, you would be notified in writing of any change in the excess coverage.
