The more you know, the safer your money.

If your money is 100% FDIC-insured, you cannot lose a penny, no matter what.

But, how do you know if your money is fully FDIC-protected?

First, know the types of accounts FDIC protects:

Know Your Accounts

FDIC insures deposit accounts such as

  • checking
  • savings
  • money market deposit accounts
  • CDs and certain retirement deposits.

Second: know the FDIC coverage amounts

Know Your Amounts

For deposit accounts, coverage limits have temporarily increased to $250,000 per account owner per bank.

And for covered retirement accounts, the limit remains $250,000 per account owner per bank.

Third: Use EDIE The Estimator at myFDICinsurance.gov
