Heritage Community Bank is participating in the FDIC's Transaction Account Guarantee Program. Under that program, through December 31, 2010, all noninterest-bearing transaction accounts and certain N.O.W. accounts which earn an interest rate of .25% or less are fully guaranteed by the FDIC for the entire amount in the account. Coverage in the Transaction Account Guarantee Program is in addition to and separate from the coverage available under the FDIC's general deposit insurance rules.
