Dear
Valued Customers:
For
the last several months, all the news about Wall Street and the
Financial Services Industry has been bad. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac
have been nationalized; Merrill Lynch is now part of Bank of America,
AIG is the recipient of an $85 billion bailout by the government, and
the House and Senate recently passed the $700 billion Emergency
Stabilization Act.
Amidst
all this bad news, I am happy to report to you that Windsor Federal
Savings remains a strong and well capitalized financial institution.
Our capital is well in excess of the levels set by our primary
regulator, the Office of Thrift Supervision, and is designated “well
capitalized”.
We
did not originate or purchase any sub-prime loans and have no Fannie
Mae or Freddie Mac preferred stock on our balance sheet. Halfway
through our fiscal year, our earnings are strong and our level of
classified assets remains quite manageable.
The
Emergency Economic Stabilization Act included a provision to increase
FDIC insurance to $250,000 through December 31, 2009. Subsequent to
the passage of this Act, the FDIC has announced unlimited coverage for
non interest-bearing transaction accounts. If you are unsure if your
deposits are covered, you can go to EDIE
the Electronic Deposit Information Estimator on the FDIC website (www.fdic.gov)
or visit any one of our five convenient locations.
Our experienced staff will be happy to assist you.
For
over 70 years,
we’ve worked diligently to serve our customers in meeting their
banking needs while also staying focused on remaining a safe, secure
and strong financial institution. We have always been a community bank
and plan to stay that way as we move forward. Please
feel free to email me at griffin@windsorfederal.com
or call me at 860-688-8511 if I can be of assistance.
Sincerely,
Mark

Safe, Secure & Strong, Since 1936!
