Belco provides financial support to Townships, Boroughs, Municipalities, and School Districts with Public Deposit Accounts.
What is a Public Deposit Account?
Public Deposit Accounts, sometimes referred to as Government Accounts, are depository account solutions designed to meet the demands of public entities, such as: Townships, Boroughs, Municipalities, and School Districts.
These accounts provide the same product and service opportunities available to our business account holders, with one distinct difference: These entities are eligible to apply for a Letter of Credit to insure their deposited funds exceeding the standard NCUA coverage limits. The Act 72 requirements, which sets the guidelines for these coverages, will help determine the eligibility for those seeking to obtain coverage.
