Your Locally-Owned & Operated Bank

 

 

 
The Citizens National Bank of Southwestern Ohio is participating in the FDIC’s Transaction Account Guarantee Program.  Under that program, through June 30, 2010, all noninterest-bearing transaction 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.

To ensure funds are fully protected, depositors should understand their coverage limits.  The FDIC provides separate coverage for deposits held in different account ownership categories.  The coverage limits shown in the chart below refer to the total of all deposits that an accountholder has in the same ownership categories at each FDIC-insured bank.  The chart shows only the most common ownership categories that apply to business, individual and family deposits, and assumes that all FDIC requirements are met.
