What’s Changing
FDIC Insurance
When an insured bank assumes deposits of another insured bank,
the assumed deposits are separately insured from deposits at the
assuming bank for at least six months after the assumption. This
grace period gives a depositor the opportunity to restructure his or
her accounts, if necessary.
Branch Locations
All of the Monarch Community Bank offices will remain open, with the
exception of the Marshall Plaza office located at 15975 W. Michigan
Ave, which will be consolidating with Chemical Bank’s Marshall – Main

eBill Pay
Important Notes about the eBill Pay Conversion:
• Bill Pay will be unavailable from 12 PM, Thursday, May 7th until
Monday, May 11th at 9 AM.
• So that you have a record of your electronic bill payments at
Monarch Community Bank, we recommend you capture and save
screenshots of your eBill Pay activity at Monarch Community Bank
prior to conversion. We also recommend verifying several items
after conversion to ensure that your scheduled Transactions and
Bill Pay information have converted correctly. Items that you
will need to verify include: Payee Information - including Account
Numbers and Addresses, Payee Nicknames, Funding Accounts and
Scheduled or Recurring Transaction details.
• Please verify your payee names prior to 12 PM on Thursday, May
7th to ensure that the full legal business or personal name is listed
or the payee will not convert. For example, “Mom” or “Rent” should
be displayed as the full legal name. Importantly, any payees used

IRS) will not convert. We recommend capturing this information for
your records in order to make alternate arrangements for future
tax payments.
• Items scheduled for payment will be processed if they are in the

will not be able to make any changes or cancel scheduled

going forward will be available on the new system.
Important Notes about Bill Pay:
• When initiating a Bill Payment, click on the calendar icon to select
the “Deliver By” date. To determine when the funds will be debited
from your account, move your cursor over the “Deliver By” date and
the “Send On” date will display below the calendar. The “Send On”
date is the date funds are debited from your account, and your

initiated by 12 PM.
• Bill Pay has a daily limit of $25,000.

Paid Business list, the transaction will be sent electronically and
will be received by the Payee in 1-2 business days. If the new Payee

Federal Deposit Insurance Limits
The standard deposit insurance amount is $250,000 per depositor,
per insured bank, for each account ownership category.
The FDIC insures deposits that a person holds in one insured bank
separately from any deposits that the person owns in another
separately chartered insured bank. For example, if a person has
a certificate of deposit at Bank A and has a certificate of deposit
at Bank B, the amounts would each be insured separately up to
$250,000. Funds deposited in separate branches of the same
insured bank are not separately insured.
The FDIC provides separate insurance coverage for funds depositors

accrued interest) continue to be separately insured until the first
maturity date after the six-month period. If a CD matures during the
six-month grace period and is renewed on any other basis, it would
be separately insured only until the end of the six-month
grace period.
may have in different categories of legal ownership. The FDIC refers
to these different categories as “ownership categories.” This means
that a bank customer who has multiple accounts may qualify for more
than $250,000 in insurance coverage if the customer’s funds are
deposited in different ownership categories and the requirements for
each ownership category are met.
The FDIC provides separate insurance coverage for a depositor’s
funds at the same insured bank if the deposits are held in different
ownership categories. To qualify for this expanded coverage, the
requirements for insurance coverage in each ownership category
must be met.
When our banks merge, deposits from Monarch Community Bank
are separately insured from deposits at Chemical Bank for at least
six months after the merger. This grace period gives a depositor the
opportunity to restructure his or her accounts, if necessary.
CDs from Monarch Community Bank are separately insured until the
earliest maturity date after the end of the six-month grace period.
