It's not easy deciding what messages to send to customers these days (note 1), but there's no doubt a clear email about increased FDIC coverage is a winner. For example, ING Direct does a great job with this simple and very clear message outlining the temporary increase in U.S. deposit insurance coverage.
I especially like how they demonstrate how easy it is for joint account holders to get $1 million in coverage (note 2). It's so much easier seeing it laid out in a table. Here's the email sent to customers this afternoon under the subject:
Subject: Your FDIC coverage just went up
Notes:
1. Jeffry Pilcher posted some interesting quotes with differing perspectives on how to approach "crisis communications" in his Financial Brand blog today.
2. Not that many people need that, but it's still somehow comforting to know that if you had to deposit your lottery proceeds, or if you were Mark Cuban and you shorted the DJIA at 1100 with 8% of your net worth, you wouldn't have to spend so much time opening accounts to deposit your windfall.

ING is cleary the best in banking, they have always been highly rated for their products, savings, mortgage etc. They do an exceptional job in customer service and product advice.
