Yes. Your deposit at Mutual of Omaha Bank is insured by the FDIC, and each depositor is insured to at least $100,000, as established by law.

When two or more insured banks merge, the deposits from the assumed bank continue to be insured separately for at least six months after the merger. This grace period gives a depositor the opportunity to restructure his or her accounts, if necessary.

CDs from the assumed bank are separately insured until the earliest maturity date after the end of the six-month grace period. CDs that mature during the six-month period and are renewed for the same term and in the same dollar amount (either with or without accrued interest) continue to be separately insured until the first maturity date after the six-month period. If a CD matures during the six-month grace period and is renewed on any other basis, it would be separately insured only until the end of the six-month grace period.

For additional information, you may access the FDIC website, which contains deposit insurance information and an Electronic Deposit Insurance Estimator (EDIE).

A copy of this document or the press release can be provided as it states deposits have been transferred, and it is business as usual. Copies of this press release will be available at the bank. Depositors or merchants can also call the FDIC at 866-674-8944.

You may withdraw funds from any transferred account without an early withdrawal penalty until you enter into a new deposit agreement with the Mutual of Omaha Bank by either making a deposit to or a withdrawal from your account, provided the deposits are not pledged as collateral for loans.

Holds will continue to stay in place if your account has been pledged as collateral for a loan.

All deposits were transferred to Mutual of Omaha Bank, including Home Owners’ Associations, and the entire balances are available for transactions. For future reference, FDIC insurance rules consider Home Owners’ Associations as one depositor for deposit insurance purposes and are insured up to $100,000.

In the case of IndyMac, there were no bidders for the bank. We generally offer both options of purchasing all deposits or insured deposits only, but the premium submitted by the bidders must be sufficient to cover the losses for the uninsured. Generally, bidders do not offer a high enough premium. This year, there were two other failures where the winning bank took all the deposits. Those failures were Douglass National Bank in Kansas City, MO and First Integrity Bank in Staples, MN.
