FDIC Insurance Coverage and Recent Changes

Beginning July 1, 2010, Chevy Chase Bank, a division of Capital One, N.A. will no longer be participating in the FDIC’s Transaction Account Guarantee Program. Thus, after June 30, 2010, funds held in noninterest-bearing transaction accounts will no longer be guaranteed in full under the Transaction Account Guarantee Program, but will be insured up to $250,000 under the FDIC’s general deposit insurance rules.

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) is an independent agency of the United States government that protects against the loss of insured deposits if an FDIC-insured bank or savings association fails. FDIC deposit insurance is backed by the full faith and credit of the United States 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) up to a standard maximum amount.1

FDIC insurance does not, however, cover other financial products and services that insured banks may offer, such as stocks, bonds, mutual fund shares, life insurance policies, annuities or municipal securities.

FDIC insurance coverage is provided for each account holder automatically, there is no need to enroll.

Capital One, N.A. is an FDIC insured bank. Chevy Chase Bank is a division of Capital One, N.A. and is not a separately insured institution.

1 The current standard maximum amount of FDIC insurance coverage is $250,000 per depositor. On January 1, 2014, the standard coverage limit will return to $100,000 for all deposit categories except IRAs and Certain Retirement Accounts, which will continue to be insured up to $250,000 per owner.
