Deposit Insurance Banker Survey
Survey to Evaluate �౦��Ϸ����'s Deposit Insurance Publications and Resources

�౦��Ϸ���� (�౦��Ϸ����) invites all �౦��Ϸ����-insured financial institution officers with responsibility for oversight of savings and deposit operations to participate in a survey about the �౦��Ϸ����'s existing deposit insurance coverage resources. The survey's purpose is to help the �౦��Ϸ���� evaluate its existing publications, job aids and other tools intended to help bank employees understand �౦��Ϸ���� deposit insurance coverage. The survey will be available until December 16, 2005. Bankers can complete the survey by clicking on the following link http://www.keysurvey.com/survey/85666/5075/.

The survey will ask a number of questions about the �౦��Ϸ����'s educational resources for bankers on deposit insurance coverage, including:

• Have you seen the �౦��Ϸ����'s educational resources?
• Are you using the materials to educate your staff and/or customers?
• How do you rate the effectiveness of the current materials?
• What information, if any, is being provided by your bank to customers and staff?
• Where do you get the information your bank uses regarding deposit insurance coverage?

In addition to this FIL inviting bankers to participate in the survey, the �౦��Ϸ���� will send an e-mail message (from its Deposit Insurance Coverage @fdic.gov mailbox) to bankers listed on the Call Report Bank Contact List. That invitation will also ask bankers for their participation in the survey directly from their computers. If the e-mail message is received by a bank official who is not a compliance officer or does not have oversight responsibility for savings and deposit operations, we will ask that the official forward the e-mail message to the appropriate bank officers so that they can participate in the survey.

For more information about the survey, contact the �౦��Ϸ���� Call Center toll-free at 1-877-275-3342.
