As long as the online bank is a member of the FDIC, the money you deposit in your savings account is federally insured up to $250,000. You can check the current FDIC status of the bank by going to the FDIC website. Never open any bank account, online or off, with a bank that is not an active member of the FDIC.

what banks are safe to deposit my money?

In theory all banks should be safe places to put your money into. Reality is though no banks are 100% safe. The issue is what banks do you trust to put your money into? What kind of money are you talking about? If it's a huge amount then you need to talk to a banks senior manager about the security and safety of your funds. If it's just someplace to have your paycheck come to through direct deposit or its a couple of thousand dollars you're trying to hold on to then just talk to a teller or someone who handles that kind thing. The bottom line is that it just depends on what you're trying to do with the money that you have; and which bank can meet your financial needs while providing safety.
