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.
