FDIC’s TRANSACTION ACCOUNT GUARANTEE PROGRAM
First CornerStone Bank is participating in the FDIC’s Transaction Account Guarantee Program.
Through December 31, 2012, all non-interest-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.
First CornerStone Bank accounts defined as non-interest bearing transaction accounts include
our Personal Checking, Economy Checking, Business Checking and Choice Business Checking
account.
For customers with First CornerStone Bank sweep accounts, funds swept overnight into
interest-bearing accounts are not eligible for this additional coverage.
For questions or more information, please contact a First CornerStone Bank branch
representative or visit www.fdic.gov.
