Community National Bank Offers up to $5 Million in Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation --FDIC-- Coverage.

ESCONDIDO, Calif. -- Community National Bank, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Community Bancorp Inc. (NASDAQ:CMBC), announced today that they have partnered with the Certificate of Deposit Account Registry Service, or CDARS, to offer their customers FDIC insurance eligibility on deposits over $100,000.

"We can now in effect offer one-stop shopping for our large deposit customers who desire full FDIC coverage," stated Michael Patterson, Senior Vice President. "With CDARS, our customers can enjoy the security of FDIC coverage on amounts above $100,000 along with the convenience of working with just one institution and one statement," he added.

In 1980, Congress set FDIC coverage limits at $100,000 per account. Inflation over the past 24 years has eroded more than half the value of that coverage.

How does CDARS work? Through a sophisticated computer network, Community National Bank places customer funds among other FDIC-insured banks, allowing customers to manage all their funds through one relationship at Community.

Community Bancorp is a bank holding company with $502 million in assets as of March 31, 2004, with a wholly owned banking subsidiary, Community National Bank, headquartered in Escondido, California. The bank's primary focus is community banking, providing commercial banking services including commercial, real estate and SBA loans to small and medium sized businesses.
