What It Means
Many people do not know what a bank's capital is for,
or the difference between a bank of little or no capital and
one with large capital.
A BANK'S CAPITAL
Is the fund that protects depositors from loss; therefore the
larger it is the greater protection for depositors. We have
A Capital of $514,900
Surplus and Profits 134,511 —
Or a total of $650,411
This means that we must lose nearly $700,000 before
our depositors can lose a cent. This protection is for YOU.
When you think "bank" think "Continental,"
