Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is the basic amount of FDIC insured protection for each depositor?

The standard insurance amount is $250,000 per depositor, per insured bank, for each account ownership category. Some examples of FDIC-insured deposits include:

• Savings Accounts
• Checking Accounts
• NOW Accounts
• Cashier's Checks
• Official Checks
• Letters of credit
• Certificates of Deposit (CDs)
• Money Orders

2. How can I increase the amount of FDIC insurance beyond $250,000?

If your combined Zions Bancorporation, N.A. account balances exceed $250,000, there are several quick and easy ways to increase or maximize your insurance coverage.

Deposits maintained in different categories of legal ownership and meeting the FDIC’s requirements are separately insured. So you can have more than $250,000 insurance coverage at Zions Bancorporation, N.A. through a combination of different categories of ownership. The most common categories of ownership are single accounts, joint accounts, and revocable trust accounts.

In addition to the FDIC insurance on your other deposits, each depositor is separately insured up to $250,000 for funds held in certain retirement accounts.

For example, FDIC deposit insurance could increase to $500,000 for funds in joint accounts for two depositors. Each of those depositors could also have up to $250,000 of deposit insurance for funds in each of their single accounts, and another $250,000 of deposit insurance for funds in each of their IRAs.

You can’t increase FDIC insurance by dividing funds in the same ownership category among different accounts. The type of account—whether checking, savings, CD, or outstanding cashier's check or other form of deposit—has no bearing on the amount of insurance coverage. So, having $250,000 in both a single ownership savings account and a single ownership CD, doesn’t result in more than $250,000 total insurance coverage.

The examples provided below are for demonstration purposes only and should not be relied upon as they may not directly apply to every account holder. Account holders should speak with a banking representative for additional information and may need to contact the FDIC (as the provider of the insurance) depending on the specific situation.

3. How is FDIC insurance calculated for my family’s living trust?

Accounts in the name of a living trust—often referred to as testamentary, payable on death or revocable trusts—are insured separately from any individual or jointly-owned funds of the owner(s). For the purposes of FDIC-insurance coverage, a beneficiary is defined as a living natural person, charity (valid under IRS rules), or non-profit organization (valid under IRS rules). Assuming all FDIC requirements are met, the funds are insured to $250,000 for each eligible beneficiary. See the following example.

The Family Trust
Owners: Owner 1 and Owner 2
Beneficiaries: Beneficiary 1 and Beneficiary 2
Owner 1 in trust for Beneficiary 1*	$250,000
Owner 1 in trust for Beneficiary 2*	$250,000
Owner 2 in trust for Beneficiary 1*	$250,000
Owner 2 in trust for Beneficiary 2*	$250,000

Note: The FDIC requirements for funds in the "Revocable Trust Accounts" category are complex, and include more requirements than listed in this example. Consider contacting the FDIC for support.

IMPORTANT DETAILS

*These illustrations also apply to other beneficiaries. A beneficiary is defined as a natural person, a charitable organization, or a non–profit entity properly organized under IRS code. For other possible ways to increase your FDIC deposit insurance, check with a banking representative or ask for the FDIC brochure, “Your Insured Deposit”.

SPECIAL RULE FOR SWEEP INVESTMENTS

If you have a checking account that “sweeps” funds into another account, funds swept into FDIC-Insured accounts are subject to FDIC insurance coverage limits. Funds swept into investment accounts, such as money market mutual fund products, are not FDIC-insured and are not included in FDIC insurance coverage.

FIDUCIARY ACCOUNTS

For deposits that are held in in fiduciary accounts, FDIC coverage passes through to the actual owner of the funds, otherwise known as the beneficial owner. These account types are also insurable up to the $250,000 FDIC insurance limit if appropriate records are maintained which confirm ownership of the deposited funds. Account titling for your deposit must indicate the fiduciary relationship. If you have any concerns regarding how your account is currently set up, you may contact our Client Service team at 503-548-1000 or visit our office.
