FDIC Insurance Coverage 

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") is an independent agency of the United States government that protects against the loss of insured deposits if an FDIC-insured bank or savings institution fails. FDIC deposit insurance is backed by the full faith and credit of the United States government. Since the FDIC was established, no depositor has ever lost a single penny of FDIC-insured funds.

FDIC insurance covers funds in deposit accounts including checking and savings accounts, money market deposit accounts, and certificates of deposit accounts. FDIC insurance does not, however, cover other financial products and services that insured banks may offer, such as stocks, bonds, mutual fund shares, life insurance policies, annuities or municipal securities.

FDIC deposit insurance coverage is automatic. Depositors do not need to apply or even request coverage.
