Featured Banking Agency Links
When bank failures are in the news, depositors naturally want to know about federal deposit insurance coverage. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) and the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) have several very informative web pages that provide a wealth of information on deposit insurance coverage – what it is, how much is protected, how to make sure your bank or credit union deposits are covered. They also have information that can help you if your depository institution fails and is taken over by the FDIC or NCUA.

FDIC Deposit Insurance Regulations
12 C.F.R. Part 330

Note: A temporary increase in deposit insurance limits was enacted effective October 3, 2008. The "standard maximum deposit insurance amount" (SMDIA) on FDIC deposit coverage was increased to $250,000 beginning on that date. It will revert to $100,000 after 12/31/2013. The FDIC has revised the definition of the SMDIA in this regulation to reflect the temporary SMDIA, but all of the examples in the official regulation will continue to be based on an SMDIA of $100,000. Our version of the regulation (linked from this page) is updated with red text annotations to reflect how the rule would read if the FDIC were to revise each example by multiplying each amount by 2.5.
