Regarding FDIC Deposit Insurance Coverage

Effective July 21, 2010, the FDIC has permanently increased the amount of standard deposit insurance to a maximum of $250,000.00.  The $250,000.00 limit applies per depositor, per depository institution for each account category.

To help consumers, bankers and others understand how the new law affects deposit insurance coverage and to help consumers verify whether their deposit accounts are fully protected, the FDIC provides the following resources:

• Information on deposit insurance on the FDIC Web site: Updated brochures on deposit insurance coverage (including the basic guide, Deposit Insurance Summary, and the more comprehensive guide, Your Insured Deposits) and a new version of the “Electronic Deposit Insurance Estimator” (EDIE), an interactive service that allows consumers to quickly and easily check whether their accounts are fully protected, are now available on the FDIC’s Web site (www.FDIC.gov)
• A toll-free consumer assistance line:  Help and information about deposit insurance and other matters of interest to bank customers are available at 1-877-ASK-FDIC (1-877-275-3342) Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., Eastern Time.  For the hearing-impaired, the number is 1-800-925-4618.
