The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) is an independent agency of the United States government that protects depositors against the loss of their funds up to $250,000 in the event of a bank failure. FDIC insurance is backed by the full faith and credit of the United States government, making it one of the safest investments available.
To check if your bank is FDIC insured, you can look for the FDIC logo on your bank’s website, mobile app, or bank statements. You can also use the FDIC’s BankFind tool to search for FDIC-insured banks in your area.
