INSURED
DEPOSITS
More than 90 per cent of the
banks operating in North Carolina
have applied for membership in
the National Deposit Insurance
Corporation, or will have their
deposits insured automatically be
cause of membership in the Fed
eral Reserve system or because
they are national banks, it was
stated by Commissioner of Banks
Gurney P. Hood today.
Of the 277 banks in the State,
all but 27 will have insured de
posits, if they meet the require
ments. Probably seven of those
not yet applied have no deposits
or such little deposits that the in
surance is not necessary for them,
Commissioner Hood said. In the
State are 36 national banks with
three branches and six State banks
with seven branches which are
members of the Federal Reserve
System. All but 27 of the remain
ing 225 banks have applied for in
surance and half of those apply
ing have been examined, Mr. Hood
said.

ciation, according to an announce
ment by Willard L. Dowell, exe
cutive secretary of the association.

ledge and experience in the field
