Are First Federal of SC, FSB deposit accounts FDIC insured?
A Yes! All funds in a “non-interest bearing transaction account” are insured in full by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation from December 31, 2010 through December 31, 2012. This temporary unlimited coverage is in addition to, and separate from, the coverage of at least $250,000.00 availabe to depositors under the FDIC’s general deposit insurance rules. The term “non-interest bearing transaction account” includes a traditional checking account or demand deposit account on which the insured depository institution pays no interest. It does not include other accounts, such as traditional checking or demand deposit accounts that may earn interest, NOW accounts, money market deposit accounts, and Interest on Lawyers Trust Accounts (“IOLTAs”).
