FDIC InformationThe Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) is an independent agency of the US government that protects against the loss of insured deposits if an FDIC-insured bank fails. FDIC deposit insurance is backed by the full faith and credit of the US government. Since the FDIC was established, no depositor has ever lost a single penny of FDIC-insured funds. FDIC insurance covers funds in deposit accounts, including checking and savings accounts, money market deposit accounts and certificates of deposit (CDs). FDIC insurance does not, however, cover other financial products and services that insured banks may offer, such as stocks, bonds or municipal securities. There is no need for depositors to apply for FDIC insurance or even to request it. Physicians National Bank is an FDIC insured bank and coverage is automatic for our customers. To ensure funds are fully protected, depositors should understand their coverage limits. The FDIC provides separate coverage for deposits held in different account ownership categories. The coverage limits shown in the chart below refer to the total of all deposits that an accountholder has in the same ownership categories at each FDIC-insured bank. The chart shows only the most common ownership categories that apply to individual and family deposits, and assumes that all FDIC requirements are met. FDIC Deposit Insurance CoverageBeginning January 1, 2013 all of a depositor’s accounts at Eagle National Bank and any insured depository institution, including all noninterest-bearing transaction accounts, will be insured by the FDIC up to the standard maximum deposit insurance amount ($250,000), for each deposit insurance ownership category.
