FDIC stands for Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. It was formed in the 1930s in response to the banking crashes that accompanied the Great Depression. It’s designed to keep America confident in its banks, but it also provides real-world safeguards for your money by doing precisely what its name implies: insuring your bank deposits. The FDIC, or Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, is an agency created in 1933 during the depths of the Great Depression to protect bank depositors and ensure a level of trust in the American.
The FDIC is an independent agency of the U.S. Government that protects you against loss of deposit if your bank or thrift institution fails and is FDIC insured. An FDIC insured account is a bank account at an institution where deposits are federally protected against bank failure or theft. The FDIC is a federally backed deposit insurance agency where. FDIC insurance covers checking, savings and other deposit accounts up to a standard amount of $250,000 — but there are a few caveats. Namely, the $250,000 limit is per account holder, not per.
