Facts About Guaranteed Deposits
The government records show that the average losses to
depositors in banks in the Unite I States for The la^t ti fey
years have been less thin ONE-FIFTIETH [l 50] of one
per cent.
The Oklahoma State Guarantee Losv provides for snnual
assessments of ONE-FIFTH [1-5] of one per cent, of the
average deposits in ihe State Banks.
The payments of these ossessments is secured by a de-
posit of bonds.
This assessment, then, is more than ten times the
average losses.
Therefore on well known principles of insurance, desosits
in STATE BANKS are absolutely secure.
No depositor in any guaranteed State Bank has ever
lost a dollar.
