Deposit Account Questions
Q: Will my account number(s) remain the same?
A: In most cases your account number(s) will not be changing. If there was a
change to an account number, you would have already been contacted by
East Boston Savings Bank. Please see the enclosed Account Summary sheet
to review your account number(s).
Q: What is Rockland Trust’s deposit insurance coverage?
A: Rockland Trust is a strong, secure, and well-capitalized bank. All deposits are
insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) up to $250,000.
Deposits you hold in different ownership categories—such as joint, single,
and retirement accounts—are each separately insured up to $250,000. That
means, for example, that you could have up to $250,000 in single-name
accounts and up to $250,000 in your share of joint accounts and still be fully
insured. Following the closing, excess deposit insurance through the
Depositors Insurance Fund (DIF) for amounts that exceed FDIC deposit
insurance limits will end. Most customers will not be affected by this
change. We also participate in the IntraFi® Network Deposits
SM
program
(formerly known as CDARS). Participation in the IntraFi Network Deposits
program enables customers to access FDIC insurance on deposits of up to $50
million.
Deposits at East Boston Savings Bank are also insured by the FDIC up to
$250,000. If you have accounts at both Rockland Trust and East Boston
Savings Bank, under federal law you will continue to receive the same
FDIC coverage as if your accounts were still at separate banks for six months
after the merger. After six months have passed, if your total aggregate
account balances exceed $250,000, any excess may not be covered by FDIC
insurance. Certificates of Deposit will continue to receive separate FDIC
insurance coverage until the first maturity date after the six-month period.
Q: Can I use my current checks?
A: If you have a checking account, you may continue using your existing
checks beyond the merger date. After the merger is complete, you will
receive a communication on how to order Rockland Trust checks.
Q: Will Rockland Trust continue to automatically deduct payments
from my account?
A: Automatic payments from your East Boston Savings Bank Visa Debit
Card will no longer process after November 14th. (Please refer to page 4 for
information on updating service providers with your new Rockland Trust Debit
Card account number). However, there will be no interruption in any other
automatic payments or direct deposits from/to your checking or savings
account. A notification of change will be sent from Rockland Trust to the
person/company that is initiating the transaction, asking them to change the
routing and transit number to Rockland Trust’s routing and transit number
(011304478). After the merger is complete, if you have companies that make
direct deposits to your account, you may receive a paper check during the
time the person/company is updating your records.
