At Hingham Institution for Savings, we understand the importance of protecting your money and providing you with peace of mind. That’s why we offer robust deposit insurance programs for all customers. Learn about our two deposit insurance programs below and contact us if you’d like to enroll in our extended FDIC insurance program.
FDIC and DIF Coverage
Hingham customers accounts are automatically covered by FDIC insurance up to $250,000. Additionally, deposits over $250,000 are covered by Depositors Insurance Fund (DIF). The combination of FDIC and DIF insurance provides customers with full deposit insurance on all their deposit accounts. No depositor has ever lost a penny in a bank insured by both the FDIC and the DIF.
DIF insurance coverage requires no applications or special forms. Depositors automatically receive this added insurance benefit at no cost whenever they make a deposit to a new or existing account at Hingham Institution for Savings.

Alternatively, organizations or individuals with large deposits can be covered with full FDIC coverage through our extended FDIC insurance program with IntraFi.
