Working closely with Islamic leaders and mosques to promote the new program, the $187 million CU in Totowa, N.J. is offering an NCUA-insured deposit program up to $500,000-$250,000 through the NCUA and an additional $250,000 through private Excess Share Insurance- that is consistent with the principles of Islamic law or sharia.
