FDIC Coverage

What Is the FDIC?
The FDIC – short for the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation – is an independent agency of the government. The FDIC protects you against the loss of your deposits if an FDIC-insured bank or savings association fails. FDIC insurance is backed by the full faith and credit of the government. The term "insured bank" is used on this website to mean any bank or savings association with FDIC insurance.

Why Is FDIC Insurance Important to You?
All FDIC-insured banks must meet high standards for financial strength and stability. The FDIC, with other federal and state regulatory agencies, regularly reviews the operations of insured banks to ensure these standards are met. Even with these safeguards, some insured banks fail. If your insured bank fails, FDIC insurance will cover your deposits, dollar for dollar, including principal and any accrued interest, up to the insurance limit.

Historically, insured deposits are available to customers of a failed bank within just a few days. Since the start of the FDIC in 1933, no depositor has ever lost a penny of insured deposits.

What Does the FDIC Insure?
The FDIC insures all deposits at insured banks, including checking, NOW and savings accounts, money market deposit accounts, and certificates of deposit (CDs), up to the insurance limit.

The FDIC does not insure the money you invest in stocks, bonds, mutual funds, life insurance policies, annuities, or municipal securities, even if you purchased these products from an insured bank.

Basic Insurance Amount Is $250,000*
The basic insurance amount is $250,000 per depositor per insured bank.

If you and your family have $250,000* or less in all of your deposit accounts at the same insured bank, you do not need to worry about your insurance coverage -- your deposits are fully insured.

Coverage Over $250,000*
The FDIC provides separate insurance coverage for deposit accounts held in different categories of ownership.

You may qualify for more than $250,000* in coverage at one insured bank if you own deposit accounts in different ownership categories.

*On May 20, 2009, FDIC deposit insurance temporarily increased from $100,000 to $250,000 per depositor through December 31, 2013.
