Interest on Lawyer Account (IOLA)

Interest on Lawyer Accounts (IOLAs) allow attorneys and law firms practicing in New York State to deposit their clients' funds into an account that earn dividends for the New York State IOLA Fund. The Fund uses the earned dividends to provide civil legal aid to those in need and support improvements to the justice system. HVCU's IOLA Business Checking Account makes managing your clients' funds easy and affordable, plus our tiered dividend rates mean the State IOLA fund can earn even more.
