§ 18509 Guaranty Corporation Dissolution

Key Takeaways

  • •The Guaranty Corporation can close down if all its member companies join the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or pay back all their debts.
  • •When closing, the Guaranty Corporation must pay back its members based on how much they contributed.
  • •If a member got money from the Guaranty Corporation, that amount is taken out of their share first.
  • •If a member’s debt is bigger than their share, the rest is split among all other members.

Example

Imagine a group of small banks created a safety fund together. If all the banks join a bigger insurance program or pay back their loans, the safety fund can close.

When the safety fund closes, it gives back money to the banks based on how much they put in. If one bank owed money to the fund, that amount is taken from their share first. If the bank’s debt is more than their share, the rest is split fairly among the other banks.
