FDIC Insurance Coverage
Subject to the application of bank and FDIC rules and regulations to each account owner, funds in the Bank Savings 529 Portfolio will retain their value as a result of the FDIC insurance.

Contributions to and earnings on the investments in the Bank Savings 529 Portfolio are insured by the FDIC on a per participant, pass-through basis to each account owner up to the maximum limit established by federal law, which currently is $250,000. The amount of FDIC insurance provided to an Account Owner is based on the total of: (1) the value of an Account Owner’s investment in the Bank Savings 529 Portfolio, and (2) the value of all other accounts held by the Account Owner at the Bank (including bank deposits), as determined in accordance with applicable FDIC rules and regulations.
