The FDIC is an independent agency of the United States government. They, along with other federal and state regulatory agencies, regularly review all FDIC-insured banks, such as Umpqua, to ensure standards are met. It’s also the FDIC’s role to preserve and promote the public confidence in the U.S. financial system by insuring deposits in financial institutions.
Why is FDIC insurance important to you?
FDIC insurance protects deposits from loss up to the FDIC insurance limit, including principal and accrued interest. Deposits include checking accounts, NOW accounts, savings accounts, money market accounts, individual retirement accounts (IRAs) and certificates of deposit (CDs).
Your FDIC Coverage
The merger between Columbia Bank and Umpqua Bank was completed on March 1, 2023. If you have accounts with Columbia Bank and Umpqua Bank and your deposit totals will be more than $250,000.00, please read the information below.
Your deposits continue to be insured by the FDIC. Each depositor is insured up to $250,000; the maximum permitted by law. If you have accounts with both Umpqua Bank and Columbia Bank, your funds at each institution will be insured separately for at least six months following the close of the merger.
Certificates of Deposits (CDs) from Columbia Bank are separately insured from your deposits at Umpqua Bank until the earliest maturity date after the end of the six-month grace period.
CDs that mature during the six-month grace period and are renewed for the same term and in the same dollar amount (either with or without accrued interest added to the principal amount) continue to be separately insured until the first maturity date after the six-month period.
If a CD matures during the six-month grace period and is renewed on any other basis, it will be separately insured only until the end of the six-month grace period.
At Umpqua Bank, your deposits are covered by the FDIC for up to $250,000 per depositor.* You may have more coverage depending on the ownership of your accounts.
