All funds in a “noninterest-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 available to depositors under the
FDIC’s general deposit insurance rules.
The term “noninterest-bearing transaction account” includes a
traditional checking account or demand deposit account on which
the insured depository institution pays no interest. It also
includes Interest on Lawyers Trust Accounts (“IOLTAs”). It does
not include other accounts, such as traditional checking or
demand deposit accounts that may earn interest, NOW accounts,
and money-market deposit accounts.
