The F.D.I.C. (Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.) is only responsible for your money if the bank in which you have the money goes bankrupt, or some other type of major downfall with the bank. And they will only insure your money up to a certain amount.
You can, however, protect larger amounts of your money if you have the accounts listed in different names. For example, if you are married, you can have some in just Mr. Jones, some in just Mrs. Jones, and you can have some in a joint account with both Mr. and Mrs. Jones listed. This way, each account is protected up to the F.D.I.C. insured amount.
