What is FDIC-Insured?

An FDIC-insured bank account is a type of bank account guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). The FDIC is a government agency that was created to protect consumers from financial loss. FDIC insurance covers all of the accounts that fall under one bank account. But please note that it only assures customers up to $250,000 in each FDIC-insured bank.
