By operation of federal law, beginning January 1, 2013, funds deposited in a noninterest-bearing transaction account (including an Interest on Lawyer Trust Account) no longer will receive unlimited deposit insurance coverage by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). Beginning January 1, 2013, all of a depositor's accounts at an insured depository institution, including all noninterest-bearing transaction accounts, will be insured by the FDIC up to the standard maximum deposit insurance amount ($250,000), for each deposit insurance ownership category.

The Secure and Fair Enforcement for Mortgage Licensing Act (SAFE Act) requires employees of federally regulated lending institutions who act as mortgage loan originators (“MLO”) to register with the Nationwide Mortgage Licensing System and Registry (“Registry”).

Each Chester National Bank MLO is registered with the Registry and has a unique identification number. Beginning August 1, 2011, if you would like to review the background of any Chester National Bank MLO, go to (www.nmlsconsumeraccess.org) to perform a search and enter the MLO's unique identification number.

Important information about opening an account

On September 11, 2001, our lives changed forever. In an effort to protect you and our country, the USA Patriot Act was signed into law. To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, Federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each person who opens an account.

When you open an account, we will ask for your name, address, date of birth and other information that will allow us to identify you. We may ask to see your driver's license or other identifying documents.

We proudly support all efforts to protect and maintain the security of our customers and our country.
