Certificate of Deposit Account Registry Service®, OR CDARS®

F&M Bank & Trust Company customers can now access multi-million-dollar FDIC insurance with the CDARS service.

F&M Bank is a member of the CDARS Network.  With CDARS, your large deposit is broken into smaller amounts and placed with other banks that are members of the Network.  Then, those banks issue CDs in amounts under the standard FDIC insurance maximum ($250,000), so that your investment is eligible for FDIC protection.  By working directly with just one bank - F&M Bank & Trust Company - you can receive insurance through many.

  • Terms of all CDs range from 4 weeks to 5 years.
  • No customer fees.
  • Minimum investment is $10,000.
  • Interest can be paid monthly or at maturity.
  • One monthly statement, and one yearly tax statement itemizes all CDs placed through CDARS.
