The FDIC is a governmental agency which provides insurance on bank deposits to maintain the stability of banks and keep public confidence high regarding the safety of the United States depository system. Following the crash of 1929 the general public was understandably worried about putting a substantial portion of their life savings into a bank—any bank. The FDIC offered a degree of confidence that the financial devastation could not or would not occur again due to federal government insurance. The FDIC insures a consumer’s deposit up to a total of $100,000. That’s an important number if you have accumulated more than $100,000.
