NOTICE OF CHANGES IN TEMPORARY FDIC INSURANCE COVERAGE FOR TRANSACTION ACCOUNTS

All funds in a “non interest-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 "non interest-bearing transaction account" includes a traditional checking account or demand deposit account on which the insured depository institution pays no interest. It also included Interest on Lawyer Trust Accounts (IOLTAs). It does not include other demand deposit accounts that may earn interest such as NOW accounts and money market deposit accounts.
