In USA - FDIC does it. 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.
In India - RBI does it. RBI stands for Reserve Bank of India. They insure deposits worth 1 lakh from every customer per bank.
It differs from country to country. For ex: in USA FDIC insures all customer deposits. All deposits of upto USD 250,000 is insured/guaranteed by the FDIC. Similarly in India the RBI insures all deposits. All deposits of upto Rs. 1,00,000/- is insured by the RBI.
$100,000This is sort of complicated. Per www.fdic.gov:"The basic insurance amount is $250,000 per depositor, per insured bank."The $250,000 amount applies to all depositors of an insured bank."Deposits in separate branches of an insured bank are not separately insured. Deposits in one insured bank are insured separately from deposits in another insured bank."Deposits maintained in different categories of legal ownership at the same bank can be separately insured. Therefore, it is possible to have deposits of more than $250,000 at one insured bank and still be fully insured."
Credit union deposits are insured by the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA), which is a federal agency that provides insurance coverage up to 250,000 per depositor for each account ownership category. This insurance helps protect the money deposited in credit unions in case of financial instability or failure.
