How much are my deposits insured for?
The FDIC provides deposit insurance to protect your money. Your deposits are automatically insured to at least $250,000 at each FDIC-insured bank. Learn more by visiting the FDIC website.
What happens to my deposit insurance coverage if I have deposits in two or more of the four merging banks prior to the merger?
When two or more insured banks merge, any deposits that had been held at the acquired banks remain separately insured from the deposits at the acquiring bank for at least six months after the merger. This grace period gives a depositor the opportunity to restructure his or her accounts, if necessary, in order to maintain deposit insurance coverage.
CDs from the acquired banks are separately insured until the earliest maturity date after the end of the six-month grace period. CDs that mature during the six-month period and are renewed for the same term and in the same dollar amount (either with or without accrued interest) continue to be separately insured until the first maturity date after the six-month period. If a CD matures during the six-month grace period and is renewed on any other basis, it would be separately insured only until the end of the six-month grace period.

The gas station does not know how much gas you intend to purchase when you first use your card to pay at the pump. They estimate an amount, and then make an authorization request for this to ensure that you have that much in your account before they let you pump gas. The actual amount on your receipt is what will be debited from your account.

Yes. Please call us at 888-406-2220.
