From October 14, 2008 through December 31, 2009, PNC
Bank, National Association (PNC Bank, N.A.) participated in
the TLGP-Transaction Account Guarantee Program. Under
this program, all non-interest bearing transaction accounts
were fully guaranteed by the FDIC for the entire amount in the
account.
Beginning January 1, 2010, PNC Bank, N.A. ceased
participating in the FDIC’s TLGP-Transaction Account
Guarantee Program. Dodd-Frank, however, extended for two
years, beginning December 31, 2010, unlimited deposit
insurance coverage for non-interest bearing transaction
accounts held at all banks. Therefore, eligible accounts at PNC
Bank, N.A. are again eligible for unlimited deposit insurance,
through December 31, 2012. Coverage under this extension is
in addition to, and separate from, the coverage available under
the FDIC’s general deposit insurance rules.
Home Affordable Modification Program (HAMP)
As part of its effort to stabilize the US housing market, in
March 2009 the Obama Administration published detailed
guidelines implementing HAMP, and authorized servicers to
begin loan modifications. PNC began participating in HAMP
through its then subsidiary National City Bank in May 2009
and directly through PNC Bank, N.A. in July 2009, and
entered into an agreement on October 1, 2010 to participate in
the Second Lien Program. HAMP was scheduled to terminate
as of December 31, 2012; however, the Administration has
announced that the HAMP program deadline will be extended
to December 31, 2013.
Home Affordable Refinance Program (HARP)
Another part of its efforts to stabilize the US housing market
is the Obama Administration’s Home Affordable Refinance
Program (HARP), which provided a means for certain
borrowers to refinance their mortgage loans. PNC began
participating in HARP in May 2009. In 2011, the Obama
Administration revised the program to increase borrower
eligibility and extended it for another twelve months with a
new termination date of December 31, 2013.
