About the FDIC

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) is an independent agency created by the Congress to maintain stability and public confidence in the nation’s financial system. The FDIC insures deposits; examines and supervises financial institutions for safety, soundness, and consumer protection; makes large and complex financial institutions resolvable; and manages receiverships.


The FDIC provides tools, education, and news updates to help consumers make informed decisions and protect their assets.  Please read the following brochures that we have provided on FDIC Insurance: 

 

FDIC's Electronic Deposit Insurance Estimator (EDIE) 

EDIE calculates the insurance coverage for Personal Accounts—deposits held by people in single accounts, joint accounts, POD/ITF accounts, living trust account, and Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs); Business Accounts—deposits held by corporations, partnerships, and organizations, both for-profit and not-for-profit; and Government Accounts—deposits held by public units such as school districts, cities, municipalities, counties, and states.  The EDIE Estimator can be found on the FDIC.GOV website.  
 

EDIE can be used to calculate the insurance coverage of all types of deposit accounts offered by an FDIC-insured bank, including:

  • Checking Accounts
  • Savings Accounts (both statement and passbook)
  • Money Market Deposit Accounts (MMDAs), and
  • Certificates of Deposit (CDs)

EDIE should NOT be used for investments, including:

  • Mutual Funds
  • Stocks
  • Bonds
  • Annuities
  • ANY investment that is not a deposit

Even if the above investments were purchased from an insured bank.
