FDIC Insurance-

  • Up to $250,000 of insurance coverage - coverage is based on your other SWB accounts, just ask your SWB banker for details.

    On May 20, 2009, President Barack Obama signed the Helping Families Save Their Homes Act, which extends the temporary increase in the standard maximum deposit insurance amount (SMDIA) to $250,000 per depositor through December 31, 2013. This extension of the temporary $250,000 coverage limit became effective immediately upon the President’s signature. The legislation provides that the SMDIA will return to $100,000 on January 1, 2014.

    Sun West Bank is pleased to inform you that we participate in the FDIC's temporary guarantee of noninterest-bearing checking accounts. The guarantee also applies to our negotiable order of withdrawal, (NOW) accounts, with interest rates of .50 percent or less. The program insures these types of accounts fully - yes, 100% coverage - through June 30, 2010. On August 26, 2009, the FDIC adopted the final rule extending the Transaction Account Guarantee (TAG) portion of the Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program from December 31, 2009 until June 30, 2010. We know that FDIC protection is important, and we wanted to provide you with this added security. We believe our customers will find this enhanced coverage beneficial.

Important Information Regarding FDIC Insurance Rules and Sweep Accounts

Sun West Bank has elected to participate in the Transaction Account Guarantee Program offered by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). This means that funds held in your noninterest-bearing checking account are now insured in full (100%) by the FDIC through June 30, 2010. However, under the sweep arrangement we transfer funds above your defined target balance into an interest-bearing account. With respect to the funds that are transferred into the interest-bearing account, these funds do not qualify for 100% deposit insurance coverage under the FDIC Transaction Account Guarantee Program. These funds held in an interest-bearing deposit account, will continue to be insured for up to $250,000 under the FDIC’s general deposit insurance rules through June 30, 2010. On August 26, 2009, the FDIC adopted the final rule extending the Transaction Account Guarantee (TAG) portion of the Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program from December 31, 2009 until June 30, 2010.

As an example:
For an account with a total balance of $400,000 with a $100,000 target balance; the Checking Account Balance of $100,000 is insured 100% and the Sweep Account Balance with $300,000 is insured up to the new limit of $250,000.
