As of December 31, 2010, all funds in a noninterest-bearing transaction account are insured in full by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation through December 31, 2012. This temporary unlimited coverage will continue to be in addition to, and separate from, the coverage of at least $250,000 available to depositors under the FDIC's general deposit insurance rules. As of December 31, 2010, 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 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\").
On December 22, 2010, Congress passed a bill (H.R. 6398) that authorizes the FDIC to treat IOLTAs (Interest On Lawyers Trust Accounts) as noninterest-bearing transaction accounts over 2011-2012 – i.e., to provide unlimited FDIC coverage of IOLTAs over this period. President Obama signed the bill into law (PL 111-343) on December 29, 2010.

CDARS
What is CDARS?
CDARS is the Certificate of Deposit Account Registry Service®. With it you can enjoy full FDIC insurance protection on CD deposit amounts greater than $250,000 and up to $50 million.
How does CDARS work?
It’s as simple as 1, 2, 3…
- Based on our CD options available, you select an interest rate and
maturity that best matches your investment goals and sign a Deposit
Placement Agreement with us.
- Providence Bank then places your funds into CDs issued by other
banks that are members of a special network – in increments of less
than $250,000 – so that both principal and interest are eligible for
complete FDIC protection. As a result, you can receive coverage from
many banks while working with just one – Providence Bank.
- You earn one interest rate and receive one statement and one year-end
tax form.
