FDIC insurance covers all types of deposits received at an insured bank, including deposits in checking, NOW, and savings accounts, money market deposit accounts, and time deposits such as certificates of deposit (CDs). FDIC deposit insurance covers the balance of each depositor's account, dollar-for-dollar, up to the insurance limit, including principal and any accrued interest through the date of the insured bank's closing. The FDIC does not insure money invested in stocks, bonds, mutual funds, life insurance policies, annuities, or municipal securities, even if these investments were bought from an insured bank. The FDIC does not insure U.S. Treasury bills, bonds, or notes. These are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States government.

How much money is insured in a bank account?

As much as $100,000 is insured in an FDIC insured bank by the full faith of the United States government. Only the $100,000 dollar amount is insured at each insured bank including principal and interest due. You cannot have more than this dollar amount insured regardless of how many accounts you have or with how many different branches or division of the bank the deposits are in. You can however have more than $100k if it is separated into different accounts that each have differing legal structures of ownership. Some investment and retirement accounts are insured by the FDIC up to $250,000.

Where do you deposit funds exceeding 100000 and still have FDIC insurance?

Your funds are insured up to $100,000 per "ownership category" per FDIC-insured bank. Examples of ownership categories are an account that is solely in your name, a joint account with your spouse, and an account that is solely in your spouse's name. There would be a total of $300,000 of FDIC-insured money at this particular bank if all three of these accounts held $100,000. You may open an account at a different bank if you'd like more funds to be FDIC insured. Here are details: http://www.fdic.gov/deposit/deposits/insured/index.html Investment-Income.net shops many banks for the best rates, and holds the funds in a single account, as long as each bank is below the FDIC Insurance limit the amount of funds covered in a single account is unlimited.

What are the benefits of joining the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation?

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) is an American government insurer that guarantees deposit accounts in participating banks and thrifts in an amount up to $250,000. This coverage guarantees that depositors will not lose their savings up to the insured amount should the bank fail. While the banks pay a premium to the FDIC for this insurance, it is to their benefit as many individuals, organizations and businesses will not deposit funds with an institution that is not FDIC insured.

Is it safe to keep large amnt of money in federal bank account?

The United States Government created an insurance scheme, following the rash of collapsed banks during the depression. This was to instil confidence in depositors that their funds would be safe, even in the event of a bank's collapse. Cheque accounts, savings, and 'CD's (Certificates of Deposit) are insured by the FDIC. (Federal Deposit Insurance Corp). Banks also may offer a money market deposit account, which earns interest at a rate set by the bank and usually limits the customer to a certain number of transactions within a stated time period. All of these types of accounts generally are insured by the FDIC up to the legal limit of USD $250,000 and sometimes even more for special types of accounts. In almost every circumstance, the insured ceiling of USD$250,000 is per bank and not per account. Therefore, should someone have more than the maximum ceiling of USD$250,000, distributed over multiple accounts, such as cheque and savings, then the maximum insured amount would almost always be limited to USD$250,000. Many American banks are now offering customers a number of investment schemes which are not considered traditional 'deposits,' as defined by the FDIC. These may include mutual funds, annuities, life insurance policies, stocks and bonds. Unlike the traditional cheque account, current account, or savings account, products are not insured by the FDIC. It is always best to confirm with your bank that your account is clearly protected under the terms and conditions of FDIC guidelines.


Is there a limit as to how many saving account a person can have?

No, you may have as many savings accounts as you wish, unless the bank you have accounts with restrict how many you may have, such as promotional interest rate savings accounts or poor banking history with that bank (Reg. D violations). However, you may open as many accounts as you wish, but that doesn't necessary mean they all will be FDIC-insured. FDIC insurance is based off of the relationship title of the account. For example, if you have 5 savings account all under your name, no joint-holders, non-trust title, the most you can have insured under one banking entity is 100,000.00. So if your 5 accounts, for example, have balances totalling 150,000. $50,000 of that money will not be insured. If you are saving large sums of monies, you may want to consider other options instead of opening numerous savings accounts, such as IRA retirement accounts, for the tax benefit. If you earn more than $10 in interest, you are required to pay taxes on the interest earned, and you will receive a 1099R that you must file with your taxes. I hope I was able to answer your question.


Why did FDR create the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation?

When the stock market crashed, everyone panicked and withdrew their money from their banks. Banks did not keep all of the money, they loaned money out etc. The banks could not pay all those who were wanting to withdrawal their money. As a result, the banks failed. Many people lost their life savings. In order to try and restore some faith into banks, Roosevelt put the FDIC in place. The FDIC guarantees up to 250,000 per depositor, per insured bank, for each ownership account. This means you can have multiple accounts and your money will be insured up to 250,000. Having multiple accounts protects you if you have large amounts of money. Roosevelt put many plans and programs in place in order to try and jump start the economy. His plan proved successful.
