FDIC Insurance Information

What amount of insurance coverage does the FDIC provide?

The standard deposit insurance coverage amount is $250,000 per depositor, per insured financial institution, for each account ownership category.  The FDIC insures deposits that a person holds in one insured bank separately from any deposits that the person owns in another separately chartered insured bank.  Funds deposited in separate branches of the same insured bank are not separately insured.
