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 $250,000.00 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.
