TO: CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER
SUBJECT: Amended Deposit Insurance Regulations on Joint Accounts and Payable-on-
Death Accounts
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) announced in FIL-27-99: Financial Institution
Letters: dated March 23, 1999, that its Board of Directors had revised the deposit insurance
regulations governing two common types of accounts: joint accounts and "payable-on-death"
("POD" or revocable trust) accounts. The FIL also noted that the FDIC would send each insured
institution a copy of the final rule upon its publication in the Federal Register. Attached is a copy
of the Federal Register notice.
These revisions took effect on April 1, 1999, the date of publication in the Federal Register.
They apply to all existing and future joint accounts and POD accounts, including certificates of
deposit.
The FDIC has revised its Internet electronic deposit insurance estimator ("EDIE") to incorporate
the revisions to the joint account and POD account deposit insurance regulations. EDIE is
available on the FDIC's Web site (www.fdic.gov). The FDIC will inform you when the updated
versions of its pamphlet "Your Insured Deposits" and its instructional manual "The Financial
Institution Employee's Guide to Deposit Insurance" ("Gold Book") are available. Once "Your
Insured Deposits" is revised, the FDIC will send each insured institution camera-ready art of the
pamphlet via a financial institution letter (FIL).

Compliance and Consumer Affairs; or Christopher Hencke (202-898-8839) or Joseph DiNuzzo
