Notice of Participation in Transaction Account Guarantee Program

On October 14, 2008, the FDIC announced it's new Transaction Account Guarantee (TAG) Program as part of the Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program.

The TAG program guarantees full deposit insurance coverage of non-interest bearing deposit transaction accounts, regardless of the dollar amount. All FDIC-insured institutions (including HomeStar Bank and Financial Services) were automatically enrolled for a 30-day period. HomeStar Bank and Financial Services is pleased to announce that we will continue our participation in this program through December 31, 2010.
