| NOTICE OF CHANGES IN TEMPORARY FDIC INSURANCE COVERAGE FOR TRANSACTION ACCOUNTS
|
|
Bank of Whittier, N.A. is participating in the FDIC’s Transaction Account Guarantee Program.
All funds in a “noninterest-bearing transaction account” are insured in full by the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation from December 31, 2010, through December 31, 2012. This temporary
unlimited coverage is in addition to, and separate from, the coverage of at least $250,000 available
to depositors under the FDIC's general deposit insurance rules.
The term “noninterest-bearing transaction account” includes a traditional checking account or demand
deposit account on which the insured depository institution pays no interest. It does not include other
accounts, such as traditional checking or demand deposit accounts that may earn interest, NOW accounts,
money-market deposit accounts, and Interest on Lawyers Trust Accounts (“IOLTAs”).

The UIGEA, signed into law in 2006, prohibits any person engaged in the business of betting or wagering (as defined in the Act) from
knowingly accepting payments in connection with the participation of another person in unlawful internet gambling. The Department of
Treasury and the Federal Reserve Board have issued a joint final rule, Regulation GG, to implement this Act.
As defined in Regulation GG, unlawful Internet gambling means to “place, receive or otherwise knowingly transmit a bet or wager
by any means which involves the use, at least in part, of the internet where such bet or wager is unlawful under any applicable
Federal or State law in the State or Tribal lands in which the bet or wager is initiated, received or otherwise made”.
As a customer of Bank of Whittier, N.A., these restricted transactions are prohibited from being processed through your account
or banking relationship with us.
Please contact the Bank at 15141 E. Whittier Blvd., Whittier, CA 90203; (562) 945-7553; or (562) 945-5031 fax if you need additional
information on UIGEA or Regulation GG.
