Under that program, through June 30, 2010 all noninterest-bearing transaction accounts are fully guaranteed by the FDIC for the entire amount in the account.

Noninterest-bearing transaction accounts include NOW (Negotiable Order of Withdrawal) and IOLTA (Interest on Lawyers Trust Accounts) accounts earning an interest rate of 0.50% or less.
