Deposit Account Insurance Information

Deposit Account Insurance Information Updates

Last Revision Date: 11/2016

Effective January 1, 2013, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) is eliminating the unlimited deposit insurance previously in effect for all “noninterest-bearing transaction accounts” held in institutions such as Leader Bank. The term “noninterest-bearing transaction account” includes traditional checking accounts, demand deposit accounts that pay no interest, and Interest on Lawyers Trust Accounts.

Effective January 1, 2013, the FDIC’s maximum insurance coverage shall revert to $250,000.00 per depositor per institution, although you may qualify for more than $250,000 in coverage at one insured bank if you own deposit accounts in different categories (such as joint accounts, individual accounts, etc.).

FDIC Limitations on Coverage of Accounts

On August 10, 2010, the FDIC Board of Directors amended its insurance and advertising regulations to conform with the provisions of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Report and Consumer Protection Act, which permanently increased the standard maximum deposit insurance amount from $100,000 to $250,000. This permanent increase became effective on July 22, 2010. The FDIC provides separate insurance coverage for deposit accounts held in different categories of ownership. You may qualify for more than $250,000 in coverage at one insured bank if you own deposit accounts in different categories (i.e. individual accounts, joint accounts, business accounts, etc.). However, the contents of safe deposit boxes are not covered by deposit insurance.
