IV. Deposit
Insurance National Bank (DINB) |
The FDIC has created the Deposit Insurance National Bank of Greeley (DINB), Greeley, CO to facilitate the resolution of New Frontier Bank, Greeley, CO. All insured deposits, except for brokered deposits, CDs, and IRAs, have been transferred to DINB and will be available immediately. All secured public unit deposits have also been transferred. FDIC contracted Bank of the West, San Francisco, California, from Monday, April 13, 2009, through Friday, May 8, 2009 to provide operational management of DINB at the former New Frontier Bank locations.
Checks for insured CDs and insured IRAs will be sent to your mailing address on record with New Frontier Bank. These will be mailed on Monday, April 13, 2009 and you should receive these checks by the end of the week.
Principal and interest on insured accounts, through Friday, April 10, 2009,
are fully insured by the FDIC, up to the insurance limit of $250,000. You
will receive full payment for your insured account. Certain entitlements
and different types of accounts can be insured for more than the $250,000
limit. IRA funds are insured separately from other types of accounts,
up to a $250,000 limit.
All interest bearing accounts that exceed the $250,000 insurance limit
and/or all interest bearing accounts that appear to be related and exceed
this limit are reviewed
by
the FDIC
to determine their ownership and insurance coverage. If you think
you might have uninsured deposits, you should call the FDIC Call Center
to
arrange for a telephone interview with a Claims Agent at 1-800-830-4705.
The Claim Agent may direct you to download and submit a particular

If it is determined that you have uninsured funds, the FDIC will generate
and mail to you a Receiver Certificate. This certificate entitles
you to share proportionately in any funds recovered through the disposal
of the assets of New Frontier Bank. This
means that you will eventually recover some of your uninsured funds.
To find out more about FDIC Deposit Insurance:
Checks that were drawn on New Frontier Bank will be
honored up to your available balance or the insured amount until close
of business on
May 8, 2009. You may
withdraw funds from any transferred account without an early withdrawal penalty
until you enter into a new deposit agreement with your new bank. A
hold may be in place on deposit accounts due to delinquent loans where the

VII. Loan
Customers |

continue to make your payments as usual. The terms of your loan will not change
under the terms of the loan contract, because they are contractually agreed to
in your promissory note with the failed institution. Checks should be made
payable as usual and sent to the same address until further notice. If you have
further questions regarding an existing loan, please contact your loan officer.
