Congress created the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation in
1933 to maintain public confidence in the nation's banking
system. The FDIC insures deposits at the nation's 12,000 banks
and savings associations and it promotes the safety and soundness
of these institutions by identifying, monitoring and addressing
risks to which they are exposed.
