FDIC Insurance Review: How Much of My Deposits are Covered?

In this webinar, we’ll go through the FDIC deposit insurance regulations in detail, so that customers’ questions can be answered accurately and they can make appropriate decisions for their situations. These rules impact how accounts are established as well as how they are maintained. This is a webinar appropriate not only for compliance professionals but also front-line staff that responds to the many questions customers have about the safety and security of their deposit funds. We’ll provide many examples to see how this all works, and also provide valuable resources so that insurance amounts can be calculated, and the rules detailed.

Recent news of bank failures has customers on edge. Are their deposits covered by FDIC insurance? Should they move their money to another bank? What happens if there is a failure? It’s a common misconception that $250,000 in each account is covered; this is reported in the press repeatedly. It’s also a misnomer that each customer has $250,000 of coverage in each institution. So what is the right answer? FDIC deposit insurance is calculated by the account ownership category, which is defined by FDIC regulations. There are separate categories for individual accounts, joint accounts, and others. Plus, the trust rules will be changing in a few years.
