Massachusetts IOLTA Program

✨Thank you UniBank MA for being an IOLTA Leadership Institution!✨

Leadership Institutions support our communities by offering higher interest rates for lawyers' IOLTA accounts. The Massachusetts IOLTA Program uses the interest earned on IOLTA accounts to fund critically needed help for people facing urgent, everyday legal problems like preventing unlawful evictions, escaping domestic violence, protecting veterans' benefits, and allowing seniors to age with dignity.

Massachusetts lawyers - you can generate more money to support civil legal aid and access to justice programs by keeping your IOLTA accounts at a Leadership Institution like UniBank MA.
