Transaction Account Guarantee Program

The Transaction Account Guarantee Program as described in the Interim Rule, provided for a temporary full guarantee by the FDIC for funds held at FDIC-insured depository institutions in noninterest-bearing transaction accounts above the existing deposit insurance limit. This coverage became effective on October 14, 2008, and would continue through December 31, 2009. On August 26, 2009, the FDIC extended the Transaction Account Guarantee Program for six months, through June 30, 2010. The guarantee was then extended an additional six months, through December 31, 2010. Thereafter section 343 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act will provide a similar transaction account insurance, from December 31, 2010 through December 31, 2012.

Famous quotes containing the words account, guarantee and/or program:

    How shall we account for our pursuits, if they are original? We get the language with which to describe our various lives out of a common mint.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    It is difficult for parents to guarantee the virtue of their sons and daughters.
    Chinese proverb.

    “Why visit the playhouse to see the famous Parisian models, ... when one can see the French damsels, Norma and Diana? Their names have been known on both continents, because everything goes as it will, and those that cannot be satisfied with these must surely be of a queer nature.”
    —For the City of New Orleans, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
