  • The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), preserving and promoting public confidence, is an independent agency of the federal government, created in 1933 in response to the thousands of bank failures that occurred in the 1920s and early 1930s. Beginning on January 1, 1934, it now insures more than $5 trillion of deposits in U.S. banks. On October 3, 2008, FDIC deposit insurance temporarily increased from $100,000 to $250,000 per depositor through December 31, 2009. See: dif.
