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 means that your deposits are insured or safe-kept by the FDIC. FDIC insures upto $250,000 of your deposit in your bank. So, lets say you have $50,000 in your bank account and the bank just declared bankruptcy. The FDIC will give you the $50,000 you had your bank account. Lets say I had $500,000 in my bank account. In that case I will get only $250,000 because FDIC insures only upto that amount per customer account per bank.
