1. A credit union may accept property for safekeeping if, except in the case of night depositories, the credit union issues a receipt for the property. A credit union accepting property for safekeeping shall purchase and maintain reasonable insurance coverage to ensure against loss incurred in connection with the acceptance of property for safekeeping. Property held for safekeeping shall not be commingled with the property of the credit union or the property of others.
2. A credit union has a lien upon any property held for safekeeping and for expenses incurred in any sale made pursuant to this subsection. If the charge for safekeeping of property is not paid within six months from the day the charge is due, at any time after the six months and while the charge remains unpaid, the credit union may mail a notice to the member at the member's last known address as shown upon the records of the credit union, stating that if the amount due is not paid on or before a specified day, which shall be at least thirty days after the date of mailing the notice, the credit union will remove the property from safekeeping and hold the property for the account of the member. After the expiration of the period specified in the notice, if the charge for safekeeping has not been paid, the credit union may remove the property from safekeeping, cause the property to be inventoried, and hold the property for the account of the member. If the property is not claimed within two years after its removal from safekeeping the credit union may proceed to sell so much of the property as is necessary to pay the charge which remains unpaid and the expense incurred in making the sale in the manner provided for in section 533.49C, subsections 3 and 4. The proceeds of any sale made pursuant to this section, after payment of any amounts with respect to which the credit union has a lien, any property which was not offered for sale, and property which, although offered for sale, was not sold, shall be retained by the credit union until such time as the property is presumed abandoned according to section 556.2, and shall be handled pursuant to chapter 556.
