About expanded FDIC coverage
Federal Deposit insurance has been expanded to cover even more of your deposits! The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) increased the amount of insurance coverage available to both individuals and companies. These changes will be in effect through December 31, 2013. The basic FDIC insurance limit is scheduled to return to $100,000 on January 1, 2014.
| Type of Account | New FDIC Coverage |
Non-Interest Bearing Transaction Accounts This includes all personal and business checking deposit accounts that do not earn interest and certain low interest NOW accounts. |
Fully insured for the entire amount in the deposit account This is in addition to the $250,000 deposit insurance coverage. |
IOLTA Accounts (Interest on Lawyers Trust Accounts) |
Fully insured for the entire amount in the deposit account |

This table shows only the most common ownership categories that apply to individual and joint deposits, and assumes all FDIC requirements are met. Certain retirement accounts will continue to be protected up to the $250,000 because that is
the permanent level previously set by Congress.
FDIC Transaction Guarantee Program
Adams Bank & Trust is participating in the FDIC's Transaction Account Guarantee Program. Under that program, through December 31, 2010, all noninterest transaction accounts and certain low interest NOW accounts are fully guaranteed by the FDIC for the entire amount in the account. Coverage under the Transaction Account Guarantee Program is in addition to and separate from the coverage available under the FDIC's general deposit insurance rules.
