What provides deposit insurance which guarantees the safety of deposits in member banks?

In the United States, all banks are members of the FDIC - Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Each bank pays a certain amount into the FDIC's coffers for insurance of all deposits up to $100,000 by individual citizens. If the bank runs out of money, the FDIC pays back to the citizens the amount of money they had on deposit at the bank out of the money the banks have been paying into the FDIC. Until the Great Recession, the FDIC was 100% financially solvent; during the Recession there were enough banks that went under that FDIC needed a loan from the Treasury Department to cover repaying all deposits. This loan has since been paid back and the FDIC is standing on its own two feet again.


What are the main functions that are performed by treasury department of a bank with international operations?

Probably the core function of a treasury department at any bank is the measuring, monitoring, and controlling of interest rate risk (IRR). IRR is the risk that changes in prevailing interest rates will adversely impact the value of the bank's assets and liabilities. The actual level of involvement of a treasury department in interest rate risk management varies by institution, but generally speaking, the department would forecast net interest income (NII) and measure the sensitivity of NII to changes in rates. Typically the department would employ a variety of standard and proprietary models to measure this risk. The output of this analysis would be supplied to the institution's ALCO (Asset/Liability Management Committee). ALCO is responsible for overseeing a variety of asset and liability (ALM) activities including the establishment of guidelines for the bank's risk tolerance levels. The treasury department may further be tasked with ensuring IRR stays within guidelines set by ALCO by entering into a variety of financial transactions, such as interest rate swaps, futures contracts, and so on. There are other functions often housed within the treasury department, including a process known as funds transfer pricing (FTP). At a high-level, the FTP process centrally manages the funding requirements of the entire bank in lieu of having each division fund its own balance sheet. Additionally, the department may assume responsibility for monitoring the institution's risk capital levels including the rules set forth in Basel II.

It's not a coin and it's not from 1789. This is a token piece that's struck on a cent blank and included each year with mint sets. There's one with a D for Denver and another with P for Philadelphia.

What has the US Treasury department done to make their notes more attractive to buyers?

The Treasury Department recently introduced Floating Rate Notes (FRN) that have a two year maturity. The interest on the FRN is adjusted weekly based on the rate of newly issued 13 week Treasury bills which are auctioned each week. The FRNs pay interest every three months but the rate is currently very low since the short end of the treasury yield curve is close to zero percent. Individual investors can purchase FRNs directly from the government by setting up an account with the Treasury Department. The FRN would appeal to investors expecting a big increase in interest rates over the short term. In addition to being considered risk free, the interest paid on U.S. Government debt obligations is exempt from state and local taxes. Things move slowly at the U.S. Treasury and the FRN is the first new debt security offering from the Treasury since 1997 when Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS) were introduced.


How can you know your bank fixed deposits through your pan no?

You cannot. Banks in India are not interconnected to one another. Each bank maintains an account of customer records separately. So, the customer himself may have to visit each of the banks where he has accounts to get a statement of all his fixed deposit accounts. If anyone apart from the actual customer wants this information, banks will refuse to divulge the information unless they are from the police department.
