FDIC Insurance FAQs
What is FDIC Insurance?
FDIC stands for "Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation". FDIC is an independent agency of the federal government.
What does FDIC insurance protect?

Who stands behind FDIC insurance?
FDIC insurance is backed by the full faith and credit of the United States Government.

What types of deposit accounts does the FDIC insurance cover?
FDIC insurance covers all types of deposits received at an insured bank, including deposits in a checking account, negotiable order of withdrawal (NOW) account, savings account, money market deposit account (MMDA), time deposit such as a certificate of deposit (CD), or an official item issued by a bank, such as a cashier's check or money order.
What is not covered by FDIC insurance?
The FDIC does not insure money invested in stocks, bonds, mutual funds, life insurance policies, annuities or municipal securities, even if these investments are purchased at an insured bank.
What do I need to do to obtain FDIC insurance?
Depositors do not need to apply for FDIC insurance. Coverage is automatic whenever a deposit account is opened at an FDIC-insured bank or financial institution.
