NOTICE
OF CHANGES IN TEMPORARY FDIC INSURANCE COVERAGE FOR
TRANSACTION ACCOUNTS
All funds in a “noninterest-bearing transaction account” are
insured in full by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
from December 31, 2010, through December 31, 2012. This
temporary unlimited coverage is in addition to, and separate
from, the coverage of at least $250,000 available to
depositors under the FDIC’s general deposit insurance rules.
The term “noninterest-bearing transaction account” includes
a traditional checking account or demand deposit account on
which the insured depository institution pays no interest.
It also includes Interest on Lawyers Trust Accounts
(“IOLTAs”). It does not include other accounts, such as
traditional checking or demand deposit accounts that may
earn interest, NOW accounts, and money-market deposit
accounts.

of transaction accounts, visit www.fdic.gov.
Basic FDIC Insurance Coverage
Effective July 21, 2010,
the current standard maximum deposit insurance amount is
permanently raised to $250,000.00. The FDIC insurance
coverage limit applies per depositor, per insured depository
institution for each account ownership category.
