Overview of the FDIC

An independent federal agency, the FDIC was created in response to thousands of bank failures in the 1920s and early 1930s.

The FDIC does not receive congressional appropriations. It is funded by premiums paid by banks and savings associations for deposit insurance coverage. The FDIC insures trillions of dollars in US bank and savings company deposits. Deposits can be found in virtually all banks and savings associations in the country.

The standard insurance amount is $250,000 per depositor, per insured bank, and per account ownership category. Since the FDIC insurance began on January 1, 1934, no depositor has lost a penny of insurance as a result of a bankruptcy.

The FDIC directly oversees more than 5,000 banks and savings associations, inspecting the safety and integrity of their operations.
