IV. Deposit Insurance National Bank (DINB)

The FDIC has created the Deposit Insurance National Bank of Kaysville (DINB of Kaysville), Kaysville, UT to facilitate the resolution of Barnes Banking Company. All insured deposits, with the exception of brokered deposits, certificates of deposit and individual retirement accounts have been transferred to DINB of Kaysville and will be available immediately.

Checks for insured CDs and insured IRAs will be sent to your mailing address on record with Barnes Banking Company. These will be mailed on Tuesday, January 19, 2010 and you should receive these checks by the end of the week.

Principal and interest on insured accounts, through Friday, January 15, 2010, are fully insured by the FDIC, up to the insurance limit of $250,000. You will receive full payment for your insured account. Certain entitlements and different types of accounts can be insured for more than the $250,000 limit. IRA funds are insured separately from other types of accounts, up to a $250,000 limit.

All interest bearing accounts that exceed the $250,000 insurance limit and/or all interest bearing accounts that appear to be related and exceed this limit are reviewed by the FDIC to determine their ownership and insurance coverage. If you think you might have uninsured deposits, you should call the FDIC Call Center to arrange for a telephone interview with a Claims Agent at (888) 206-4662.
