The FDIC has assembled useful information regarding your relationship with this institution.  Besides a checking account, you may have Certificates of Deposit, a car loan, a business checking account, a commercial loan, a Social Security direct deposit, and other relationships with the institution.  The FDIC has compiled the following information, which should answer many of your questions.

Your transferred deposits will be separately insured from any accounts you may already have at BB&T for six months after the failure of Colonial Bank. Checks that were drawn on Colonial Bank that did not clear before the institution closed will be honored as long as there are sufficient funds in the account.  If you have questions about your account(s) transferred to the assuming bank, you may speak to an FDIC representative regarding deposit insurance by calling 1-800-405-8739.

For general questions about FDIC deposit insurance coverage, please call 1-877-275-3342 or visit EDIE, the FDIC's Electronic Deposit Insurance Estimator.

You may withdraw your funds from any transferred account without an early withdrawal penalty until you enter into a new deposit agreement with BB&T as long as the deposits are not pledged as collateral for loans. You may view more information about BB&T by visiting their web site.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On August 14, 2009, Colonial Bank, Montgomery, Alabama, (FIN #10103) was closed by the Alabama State Banking Department, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (''FDIC'') was appointed as its receiver (''Receiver''). In complying with its statutory duty to resolve the institution in the method that is least costly to the deposit insurance fund (see 12 U.S.C. 1823(c)(4)), the FDIC facilitated a transaction with Branch Banking and Trust (''BB&T''), Winston- Salem, North Carolina, to assume all of the deposits and most of the assets of the failed institution.

Section 11(d)(11)(A) of the FDI Act, 12 U.S.C. 1821(d)(11)(A), sets forth the order of priority for distribution of amounts realized from the liquidation or other resolution of an insured depository institution to pay claims. Under the statutory order of priority, administrative expenses and deposit liabilities must be paid in full before any distribution may be made to general unsecured creditors or any lower priority claims.

As of March 31, 2013, the maximum value of assets that could be available for distribution by the Receiver, together with maximum possible recoveries on professional liability claims against directors, officers, and other professionals, as well as potential tax refunds, was $3,282,813,040. As of the same date, administrative expenses and depositor liabilities equaled $4,981,236,544, exceeding available assets and potential recoveries by $1,698,423,504. Accordingly, the FDIC has determined that insufficient assets exist to make any distribution on general unsecured creditor claims (and any lower priority claims) and therefore all such claims, asserted or unasserted, will recover nothing and have no value.
