WHAT AMOUNT OF INSURANCE COVERAGE DO I HAVE FOR MY ACCOUNTS? (As of July 21, 2010)
Basic Insurance:
(1) Basic FDIC insurance is $250,000 per depositor, per insured financial institution.
(2) Cross River Bank is participating in the FDIC Transaction Account Guarantee Program (TAGP), a program that temporarily provides an additional and separate 100% guarantee of unlimited FDIC insurance coverage on deposits held in traditional, noninterest-bearing consumer and business deposit checking accounts. IOLTA/IOLA accounts and NOW accounts with interest rates of 0.25% or less. (Interest-bearing Money Market Accounts and NOW accounts with interest rates more than 0.25% are not included.) This will be effective through 12/31/2010.
Coverage Over Basic Insurance:
The FDIC provides separate insurance coverage for deposit accounts held in different categories of ownership. In addition to the separate, unlimited insurance coverage on noninterest - bearing consumer and business checking accounts, it is possible to qualify for more than the current $250,000 in coverage at one insured bank if you own deposit accounts in different ownership categories. The ownership categories are (1) single; (2) joint; (3) revocable trust (informal revocable trusts such as "Payable-on-death" accounts and formal revocable trusts such as living/family trusts created for estate planning purposes); (4) irrevocable trusts; (5) certain retirement plans; (6) employee benefit plans; (7) business (corporation, partnership, unincorporated associations); and (8) government.
