The FDIC Sign Is Changing
The FDIC's official sign has a new look and new information that all insured banks and savings associations will be required to display at teller stations, ATMs and branch locations.
First, the new sign highlights the fact that FDIC insurance is "backed by the full faith and credit of the United States government." In addition, revised wording notes that each depositor is "insured to at least $100,000" – that's because certain retirement accounts now are insured up to $250,000, up from the basic FDIC coverage of $100,000.
The new sign also lists the FDIC's Web site www.fdic.gov, where consumers can get information about their FDIC insurance coverage and other topics of interest.
The signs are already appearing at some institutions but must be displayed by all of them by November 13, 2007.
