^^If you sign up for Automatic Savings, you are required to open a deposit account in your name through nbkc bank, Member FDIC. Any balances you hold with nbkc bank, including but not limited to those balances held in Empower accounts are added together and are insured up to $250,000 per depositor through nbkc bank, Member FDIC. Empower is not FDIC-insured. FDIC insurance only covers the failure of an insured bank. If you have funds jointly owned, these funds would be separately insured for up to $250,000 for each joint account owner. nbkc bank utilizes a deposit network service, which means that at any given time, all, none, or a portion of the funds in your Empower accounts may be placed into and held beneficially in your name at other depository institutions which are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). For a complete list of other depository institutions where funds may be placed, please visit https://www.cambr.com/bank-list. Balances moved to network banks are eligible for FDIC insurance once the funds arrive at a network bank.
