FDIC stand for Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The purpose of the FDIC is to guarantee peoples deposits in a bank up to $250,000. Or in other words, if the bank your account is at goes out of business, and you have $1,000 in it. The FDIC will pay you the $1,000 and so on up to a max payout of $250,000. The FDIC was formed June 16, 1933 in the midst of The Great Depression. During this time, bank runs were a common occurrence, where people would mob the banks looking to withdraw all of the money in their accounts. Unfortunately, banks only carried a fraction of all the accounts value in reserve, so essentially it became a matter of first come first serve and since there was no such thing as deposit insurance at the time, once the banks reserves ran out, that $1,000 you used to have is now gone! Not too good when unemployment is 25% and the Stock Market had decreased in value by 75%! Therefore, the FDIC would become one of numerous plans to come out of President Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal, that would begin to stabilize the American economy after the worst economic downturn in American history.

There was no insurance. That's why their depositors lost all their money. This was the motivation for the establishment of the FDIC.
The FDIC was created during the financial chaos of the Great Depression. The stock market crash in October of 1929, and the subsequent crash in March of 1933, prompted the U.S. Government to create a federally-backed corporation that would provide stability and reassurance to the public. And on January 1, 1934, the FDIC was created. http://www.savewealth.com/banking/fdic/ Hopes it helps! ^^

Yes, the FDIC (Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation) was successful. In 1933, The United States was engulfed in a "Great Depression" and many people were put out of jobs. The unemployment rate was over 20%. The president Franklin D. Roosevelt signed the Banking Act of 1933. This legislation established the FDIC as a temporary government corporation. The Banking Act of 1935 made the FDIC a permanent agency of the government and provided permanent deposit insurance maintained at the $5,000 level.I hope you all found this information helpful.

The Great Depression led to some of the banking laws that we have now, including the FDIC. Other laws regarding the stock market were enacted then, and became part of the deregulation of the last few years, leading to some of the current problems. Another feature is that the people who are now in retirement were young during the depression. They learned to reuse items and to save and have become probably the most affluent elders in history.
