FDIC insurance

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), an independent agency of the federal government, protects against the loss of insured deposits in the event an FDIC-insured bank or savings association fails. FDIC insurance is backed by the full faith and credit of the United States Government.

If your insured bank fails, FDIC insurance will cover your deposit accounts, dollar for dollar up to the insurance limit, including principal and any accrued interest through the date of the insured bank’s closing.

Deposits at FDIC-insured institutions are insured to at least $250,000 per depositor for each account ownership category. Learn more at:

FDIC deposit insurance coverage depends on two things: (1) whether your chosen financial product is a deposit product; and (2) whether your bank is FDIC-insured.

The FDIC covers:
Checking accounts
Negotiable Order of Withdrawal (NOW) accounts
Savings accounts
Money market deposit accounts (MMDAs)
Time deposits such as certificates of deposit (CDs)
Cashier's checks, money orders, and other official items issued by a bank
The FDIC does not cover:
Stock investments
Bond investments
Mutual funds
Life insurance policies
Annuities
Municipal securities
Safe deposit boxes or their contents
U.S. Treasury bills, bonds or notes
Depositors do not need to apply for FDIC insurance. Coverage is automatic whenever a deposit account is opened at an FDIC-insured bank or financial institution. If you are interested in FDIC deposit insurance coverage, simply make sure you are placing your funds in a deposit product at the bank.
