Union Deposit Products

The Amalgamated Clothing Workers Union formed Amalgamated Bank of Chicago (ABOC) in 1922 to meet the banking and financial needs of organized labor. A century later, local unions still own a significant share of ABOC, and a large percentage of our staff are active union members. We understand how unions work and what makes them different from other types of businesses – and are uniquely positioned to anticipate and solve your challenges.

Certificates of Deposit (CDs) through CDARS®

With the CDARS service, you can access multi-million-dollar FDIC protection on deposits placed into CDs at participating network banks while working only with our bank. Learn more

Deposit placement through CDARS or ICS is subject to the terms, conditions, and disclosures in applicable agreements. Although deposits are placed in increments that do not exceed the FDIC standard maximum deposit insurance amount (“SMDIA”) at any one destination bank, a depositor’s balances at the institution that places deposits may exceed the SMDIA (e.g., before settlement for deposits or after settlement for withdrawals). The depositor must make any necessary arrangements to protect such balances consistent with applicable law and must determine whether placement through CDARS or ICS satisfies any restrictions on its deposits. A list identifying IntraFi network banks appears at https://www.intrafi.com/network-banks. The depositor may exclude banks from eligibility to receive its funds. IntraFi and CDARS are registered trademarks, and the IntraFi logo and IntraFi hexagon are service marks, of IntraFi Network LLC.
