Five credit unions in Oregon are well on their way to accepting and safely holding large government fund deposits.
The $916 million Unitus Community Credit Union of Portland, $146 million Pacific Crest Federal Credit Union of Klamath Falls, $777 million O.S.U. Federal Credit Union of Corvallis, $3.2 billion OnPoint Community Credit Union of Portland and $928 million Advantis Credit Union of Milwaukie submitted the required notice and paperwork to participate in the Oregon Credit Union Public Funds Collateralization Program, the Oregon State Treasury said in an announcement.
The program, slated to take effect April 1, 2013, will allow Oregon credit unions to take public deposits in excess of the current FDIC-insured limit of $250,000 per depositor. Those deposits will be protected through collateral, the Oregon State Treasury said.
