The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation was formed to protect depositors from losing their money that they have in protected banks. Most banks are FDIC protected. If you deposit funds in a bank that is not protected by the FDIC, you risk losing everything should the bank fail. Funds are protected up to $250,000

The main purpose of the FDIC was to give bank customers confidence that their money would not disappear in another bank run, such as took place in 1929. Also, the FDIC label gives the bank a bit more clout. People might trust a bank more if they know its money is backed up by some larger and richer organization.
