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.
