Notice of Changes in Temporary FDIC Insurance Coverage for Transaction Accounts

1st Constitution Bank is participating in the FDIC's Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act). 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. The 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 checking 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 account or demand deposit accounts that may earn interest, NOW accounts, money market deposit accounts, and Interest on Lawyer Trust Accounts (IOLTA’s).

Funds that are automatically transferred, or “swept” from a noninterest-bearing transaction account to another account that does not qualify as a noninterest-bearing account will no longer be fully covered under the Transaction Account Guarantee Program (TAGP).
