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

this limit are reviewed

you to share proportionately in any funds recovered through the disposal
of the assets of Barnes Banking Company. This
means that you will eventually recover some of your uninsured funds.
Checks that were drawn on Barnes Banking Company will be
honored up to your available balance or the insured amount until close
of business on February 12, 2010. You may
withdraw funds from any transferred account without an early withdrawal penalty
until you enter into a new deposit agreement with your new bank. A
hold may be in place on deposit accounts due to delinquent loans where the
depositor is the borrower or guarantor. Additionally, any account pledged
as collateral for a loan will be held.
