Deposits are insured by the FDIC (Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation - for banks) or the NCUSIF (National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund - for credit unions). These are both basically insurance companies that are funded by their respective industries and step in when a financial institution fails, to ensure that deposits up to a set limit are fully recoverable by depositors. Before the latest financial crisis, coverage was capped at $100,000 per depositor per institution; prodded by the crisis, it has been increased to $250,000 (though this may be temporary). Deposit insurance was one of othe major regulatory responses to the financial crisis that caused the Great Depression.

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insures bank deposits up to per deposit?
$100,000This is sort of complicated. Per www.fdic.gov:"The basic insurance amount is $250,000 per depositor, per insured bank."The $250,000 amount applies to all depositors of an insured bank."Deposits in separate branches of an insured bank are not separately insured. Deposits in one insured bank are insured separately from deposits in another insured bank."Deposits maintained in different categories of legal ownership at the same bank can be separately insured. Therefore, it is possible to have deposits of more than $250,000 at one insured bank and still be fully insured."
