Due to the financial strength of Arthur State Bank, Arthur State Bank has chosen not to participate in the FDIC's Transaction Account Guarantee Program. Customers of Arthur State with noninterest-bearing transaction accounts will continue to be insured through December 31, 2013 for up to $250,000.00 under the FDIC's general deposit insurance rules. If you should have any questions or would like more of an explanation, please ask any employee to direct you to any member of our senior management team. We do appreciate and value your business with our bank.
