Keep Your Deposits Insured
FDIC GENERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE RULES
Our bank is a member of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), which
means
that when you place deposits in our bank, they are automatically insured by the
FDIC. The standard deposit insurance amount is $250,000 per depositor, per insured
bank, for each account ownership category. However, there are many ways to structure
your accounts so that your deposits are insured for more than $250,000.
The FDIC provides separate insurance coverage for deposits you may have in
different
categories of legal ownership. The FDIC refers to these different categories as
“ownership categories.” This means that if you have multiple accounts, they may
qualify for more than $250,000 in insurance coverage if your funds are deposited
in different ownership categories and the requirements for each ownership category
are met. We encourage you to visit us at the bank for assistance in structuring
your accounts to maximize your FDIC coverage. You can also visit the FDIC'sThese links are provided as a convenience to you.
