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,

General Deposit Insurance Rules
Each depositor is insured to at least $250,000. Effective
July 21, 2010, the maximum standard amount of FDIC insurance
coverage has been permanently increased
to $250,000.
