For More Help or Information Regarding Brokered CDs |

Note: The FDIC does not examine, approve or insure deposit brokers.
If you want to check out a person or company selling brokered CDs, or if you want to file a complaint, a good place to start is your state government's consumer protection office, which will be listed in your local phone book and other directories, often as part of the state Attorney General's office.
If your question or complaint involves a securities broker or brokerage firm, you may want to go
directly to your state securities regulator, which will be listed in your phone book or at www.nasaa.org on the Web site of the North American Securities Administrators Association. Other sources of consumer information and assistance in matters involving securities brokers and brokerage firms include the Securities and Exchange Commission (Office of Investor Education and Assistance, 450 5th Street, NW, Washington, DC 20549; www.sec.gov) and the National Association of Securities Dealers (a self-regulatory industry group at 800-289-9999; www.nasdr.com). |
