IOLTA Money Market Checking

MSUFCU's Interest on Lawyers' Trust Accounts (IOLTA) program allows lawyers to place certain nominal and short-term client funds into a pooled dividend-bearing account.

These dividends are remitted by MSUFCU directly to the Michigan State Bar Foundation to support charitable purposes. These funds, allocated by the Michigan State Bar Foundation, help Michigan's legal service providers assist the state's most vulnerable residents with problems such as domestic violence, child support, health care, and other critical needs.
