FDIC stands for Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The purpose of this is to provide "Deposit Insurance" which guarantees the safety of cash deposited in its member banks, currently up to US $ 250,000 per depositor per bank. Currently FDIC insures deposits at more than 7500 institutions in the USA. This is to ensure that customers do not lose out their hard earned money in case of bank failures or bankruptcy.

It came from the United States of America.

Who is FDIC and what role did it have during The Great Depression?

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.
