FDIC-Insured - Backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government
FDIC EXTENDS INCREASED DEPOSIT INSURANCE COVERAGE
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) is an independent agency of the United States government that protects against the loss of insured deposits if an FDIC-insured institution, such as a bank or savings and loan association, fails. FDIC deposit insurance is backed by the full faith and credit of the United States government. Since the FDIC was established, no depositor has ever lost a single penny of FDIC-insured funds. FDIC insurance covers all deposit accounts, including checking and savings accounts, money market accounts and certificates of deposit.
The basic limits* of FDIC deposit insurance coverage are:
| Single Accounts (owned by one person) | $250,000 per owner |
| Joint Accounts (two or more persons) | $250,000 per owner |
| Trust Accounts | $250,000 per beneficiary, subject to specific limitations and requirements. |
| IRA's and certain other retirement accounts | $250,000 per owner. |
*refers to the total of all deposits that an account holder(s) has at each FDIC insured bank
NOTICE OF EXPIRATION OF THE TEMPORARY FULL FDIC INSURANCE COVERAGE FOR NONINTEREST-BEARING TRANSACTION ACCOUNTS
By operation of federal law, beginning January 1, 2013, funds deposited in a noninterestbearing
transaction account (including an Interest on Lawyer Trust Account) no longer

($250,000), for each deposit insurance ownership category.
