Notice of Changes in Temporary FDIC Insurance Coverage for Transaction Accounts
Absent an extension of federal law, beginning January 1, 2013, funds deposited in a noninterest-bearing transaction account (including IOLTAs) will no longer receive unlimited deposit insurance coverage by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). Beginning January 1, 2013, all of a depositor’s accounts at an insured depository institution, including all noninterest-bearing transaction accounts, will be insured by the FDIC up to the standard maximum deposit insurance amount of $250,000 for each deposit insurance ownership category.
