*Annual Percentage Yield (APY) accurate as of 10/1/2009 and subject to change. This is a variable rate account; the APY may change after account opening. APY may be obtained with any positive account balance. However, fees may reduce earnings, where applicable. A $10,000 average MEGA checking account balance OR combined personal deposit relationship of $50,000 must be maintained to avoid a $25 monthly maintenance fee. Fees may reduce earnings. When MEGA Checking is a new checking account opened to satisfy the terms of MEGA Savings, MEGA Money Market or MEGA CD, the minimum opening deposit is $1,000 and requires a Visa Check Card. We will waive any overdraft fees but reserve the right to return checks presented against an insufficient balance. VCB will pay all ATM fees, including fees assessed by non VCB ATMs. VCB reserves the right to modify or discontinue the ATM fee waivers at any time. Limit one MEGA Checking account per household. Eligible entities only. Ask for complete details.

FDIC Coverage: Your Deposits Are Safer Than Ever

The FDIC continues to provide peace of mind to customers concerned about securing their deposits amidst the challenges of our economy. Congress recently approved an extension through December 31, 2013, for the increase in FDIC standard deposit insurance coverage to at least $250,000 per depositor.

VCB also participates in the FDIC’s Transaction Account Guarantee Program. Under that program, an unlimited guarantee for non-interest bearing checking accounts remains in effect until June 30, 2010.
