Radio Personality Jeff Matthews Shares His Thoughts on Opening an Account at Centennial Bank

Tuesday, May 25th, 2010

We use a lot of different ways to get the word out about Centennial Bank's products and services.  One of them is radio.  When we sponsor someone to speak on our behalf, we only require a one thing: They must have a personal checking account with us. They are asked to communicate their honest experience when opening the account though video.

In the next few months, we will have more videos of our sponsored on-air talent and let them tell you their experience of banking with Centennial.  Jeff Matthews, radio personality with B.98.5 out of Little Rock is one of the first we will chronicle.  This was an unannounced and unscripted visit to our Main location in Conway.  See Jeff's thoughts on opening an account with Centennial below.

Ribbon Cutting Held for New DTLRCDC Partnership Sustainable Home

Thursday, May 20th, 2010

In February we told you about a unique partnership with the Downtown Little Rock Community Development Corporation (DTLRCDC) and The University of Arkansas Fay Jones School of Architecture. The goal of the partnership was to produce a sustainable, energy-efficient and modular home in the Pettaway neighborhood of Little Rock that could be replicated in the near future to help revitalize the South Main district.

The home was recently completed and formally opened with a ribbon cutting ceremony.  Arkansas Governor Mike Beebe and Little Rock Mayor Mark Stodola were among the many public officials in attendance for the celebration.  Congratulations to Quincy and Stephanie Scott, the new owners of the home.

Centennial Bank Rewards Commitment to Safety with an iPad

Wednesday, May 19th, 2010

Centennial Bank recently sponsored the S.A.F.E. “Street Smart” program for the Coral Shores High School freshmen class in Tavernier, Florida.  The purpose of the class was to increase awareness among teens about the dangers of driving without a seat belt, acting responsibly and staying focused while driving a vehicle. Centennial Bank concluded the S.A.F.E. program by asking the students to sign a Contract for Life with their parents, promising to act responsibly, to wear their seat belts and to call if they find themselves in a bad situation. 

At the end of the program, 32 students signed the pledge.  Of those, one was chosen at random to win a prize.  Kellen Clarke was the lucky person who won the iPad.

NOTICE OF CHANGES IN TEMPORARY FDIC INSURANCE COVERAGE FOR TRANSACTION ACCOUNTS

All funds in a "noninterest-bearing transaction account" are insured in full by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation from December 31, 2010, through December 31, 2012. This temporary unlimited coverage is in addition to, and separate from, the coverage of at least $250,000 available to depositors under the FDIC's general deposit insurance rules.

The term "noninterest-bearing transaction account" includes a traditional checking account or demand deposit account on which the insured depository institution pays no interest. It also includes Interest on Lawyers Trust Accounts ("IOLTAs"). It does not include other accounts, such as traditional checking or demand deposit accounts that may earn interest, NOW accounts, and money-market deposit accounts.

For more information about temporary FDIC insurance coverage of transaction accounts, visit www.fdic.gov.
