490.410 Safe deposit department.
Sec. 410.
(1)If authorized by the credit union board, a domestic credit union may invest in the stock of not more than 1 safe and collateral deposit company or may operate a safe deposit department.
(2)If a domestic credit union operates a safe deposit department, the legal liability of the domestic credit union for any loss to a customer shall not exceed the sum of $10,000.00 for any 1 box or compartment. The domestic credit union may contract with the renter to have the renter assume the risks arising from the use of the box or compartment.
(3)A domestic credit union has a lien for unpaid rental charges on the contents of any safe deposit box or compartment. If rental charges are not paid within 1 year after the date of accrual, the domestic credit union may sell the property in the box or compartment at public auction, after providing any notice required by any law applicable to the sale. The domestic credit union may retain from the proceeds of sale the amount of all charges due and owing at the time of the sale and the reasonable expenses of the sale and shall pay the balance, if any, to the renter of the box or compartment or to any person who proves to the satisfaction of the domestic credit union that he or she is entitled to the proceeds. If it acts fairly and in good faith, the domestic credit union may purchase all or part of the property at the sale.
