FDIC insurance
Bank failure safeguard
FDIC insurance is federal protection for bank deposits in the United States, administered by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
If a bank fails, the FDIC reimburses depositors up to a set limit—currently $250,000 per depositor per institution.
The coverage is automatic for accounts at member banks: Your savings are protected by FDIC insurance.
