Expansion of Excess Share Insurance in Virginia

Excess Share Insurance Corporation (ESI), a dedicated subsidiary of American Share Insurance (ASI), proudly announces its operational expansion into Virginia. This initiative is set to enhance the existing insurance landscape for local credit unions by providing additional deposit insurance coverage of up to $10 million per account, exceeding the federal insurance limits. This development is a significant stride toward fortifying the financial framework available to credit unions across the state, offering a robust solution tailored to their unique needs.

By retaining 100% of deposits within the credit union, this initiative allows these institutions to utilize these funds for lending purposes, directly benefiting their members and stimulating local economic activity.

Theresa Mason, the President and CEO of ASI and ESI, expressed her enthusiasm regarding this expansion: "We are thrilled to establish a footprint in Virginia, reaffirming our commitment to the credit union movement. This initiative showcases our confidence in the health of Virginia's credit unions and their need for innovative coverage options. We aim to build lasting partnerships that will contribute to their success for years to come."

The expansion of ESI’s services is designed not only to broaden the insurance offerings available to Virginia credit unions but also to promote financial resilience among these institutions. Credit unions equipped with greater choices can better navigate the complexities of financial service delivery, leading to an enhanced capacity to serve their communities effectively.

According to Samantha Beeler, President of The League of Credit Unions Affiliates, increased access to tailored insurance solutions enables credit unions to strengthen their financial foundations and enhance the value they provide to their members. By leveraging ESI's unique offerings, these institutions can align their strategies to foster growth, enhance member services, and ensure their long-term sustainability.

ESI has built a strong presence across the United States, currently serving credit unions in 38 states and covering over 350 institutions nationwide. This widespread reach allows ESI to draw from a wealth of experience in the credit union sector, ensuring they can provide cutting-edge insurance solutions that meet the diverse needs of their clients.
