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."

In the United States, the government agency that covers customer deposits if a bank fails is the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). The FDIC is an independent agency created by the U.S. government to maintain stability and public confidence in the nation's financial system. The FDIC provides deposit insurance, which means that if a FDIC-insured bank fails, the agency guarantees the safety of depositors' funds up to certain limits. As of September 2021, the standard deposit insurance limit is $250,000 per depositor, per insured bank. This coverage applies to various types of deposit accounts, including savings accounts, checking accounts, certificates of deposit (CDs), and money market deposit accounts. It's important to note that not all banks are FDIC-insured. To ensure the safety of your deposits, it is advisable to verify that a bank is FDIC-insured before opening an account. The FDIC logo or the words "Member FDIC" displayed at the bank's premises or on their website indicate FDIC insurance coverage.
