FDIC-Insured Deposits

Farmers Bank of Kansas City is a branch of Farmers Bank & Trust. Deposits are insured up to applicable FDIC limits. Coverage depends on account ownership and includes deposits held at the same insured bank—not separate coverage for each branch.

The standard deposit insurance amount is $250,000 per depositor, per FDIC-insured bank, per ownership category. Contact our New Accounts representatives for help reviewing your accounts, or use the FDIC’s Electronic Deposit Insurance Estimator (EDIE).

Beneficial Ownership Information

The bank may request ownership information when opening or maintaining your business account. This bank account process is separate from beneficial ownership information reporting to FinCEN under the Corporate Transparency Act.

FinCEN currently states that entities created in the United States and their beneficial owners are exempt from its BOI reporting requirement. Certain foreign entities registered to do business in the United States may still have reporting obligations.
