The FDIC recently extended the TAGP portion of the Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program for six months, through June 30, 2010. This extension is valid for institutions that choose to remain in the program.
"1st Century Bank is proud to say that it opted into the TAGP when it was initially offered and is pleased that the FDIC has decided to extend it," said Chairman, Alan Rothenberg. "This extension, coupled with our strong capital position, allows us to continue to provide the safe, sound and secure banking experience for our customers during this uncertain time."
Under TAGP, the FDIC will provide deposit insurance coverage for the full amount in all of the Bank's customers' non-interest bearing deposit accounts now through June 30, 2010. This includes traditional non-interest bearing checking accounts and certain types of attorney trust accounts, as well as negotiable order of withdrawal (NOW) accounts with interest rates of 0.50 percent or less. The TAGP insurance coverage is in addition to the increased coverage provided by the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008, which temporarily raises the basic FDIC deposit insurance coverage limits to $250,000 through December 31, 2013, from the normal coverage limit of $100,000.
