FDIC Insurance
FDIC insurance is backed by the full faith and credit of the United States government. Since the FDIC was established in 1933, no depositor has lost one penny of FDIC-insured accounts. The standard insurance amount is $250,000 per depositor, per insured bank, for each account ownership category. The FDIC manages the Deposit Insurance Fund to insure the deposits, protect the depositors of insured banks, and to resolve failed banks. The FDIC also fosters communication and coordination among other countries’ deposit insurance systems.

How does CDARS work?
We are a member of a special network. When you place a large amount with us, we place your funds into CDs issued by other banks in the same network - in increments of less than $250,000 - so that both principal and interest are eligible for complete FDIC protection. As a result, you can receive coverage from many banks while working with just one.
These exchanges, which occur on a dollar-for-dollar basis, can bring the full amount of your original deposit back to our bank. As a result, we can make the full amount of your deposit available for community lending purposes.
