      In an effort to meet customer needs and provide its customers with the 
      best products and services available, BankAtlantic has launched a new 
      program giving depositors the ability to insure their money beyond 
      standard FDIC coverage. CDARS – Certificate of 
      Deposit Account Registry Service – can offer 
      customers access to multi-million dollar FDIC insurance coverage up to 
      $50 million, when they enter into the CDARS Deposit Placement Agreement, 
      while earning attractive returns on their deposits.
    
    
      CDARS is a national program, established in 2002, providing customers 
      with hassle-free, time-saving convenience at no additional cost, while 
      providing the comfort of eligibility for full FDIC coverage.
