With CDARS, you can access FDIC protection on multi-million dollar CD investments
through Provident Community Bank. There are few guarantees in life � FDIC insurance
is one of them. CDARS can be a valuable cash management or longer-term investment
tool for you.1
Why CDARS?
It�s one-stop shopping. With help from CDARS, you can access:
- Safety � Your money can access multi-million dollar FDIC insurance coverage.
- Convenience - You work directly with us. You earn one interest rate and receive
one regular statement, and one year-end tax form.
- Community Investment - The full value of your money can support lending opportunities
in your local community.2
- CD-Level Rates � Your money earns CD-level returns which may compare favorably
with other investment alternatives, including Treasuries, corporate sweep accounts,
and money market funds.
How does CDARS work?
We are a member of a special network. When you place a large amount with us, we
place your funds into CDs issued by other banks in the same network � in increments
of less than $100,000 � so that both principal and interest are eligible for complete
FDIC protection. As a result, you can receive coverage from many banks while working
with just one.
These exchanges, which occur on a dollar-for-dollar basis, can bring the full amount
of your original deposit back to our bank. As a result, we can make the full amount
of your deposit available for community lending purposes.

What else should I know?

various interest rates, organizing interest disbursements from various sources,
or manually consolidating monthly statements. This reduces your administrative burden,
especially during tax and financial reporting seasons.
And with CDARS, you can eliminate the need to monitor changing collateral values
� another time saving convenience.
Of course, your confidential account information remains protected.
