When it comes to banking, safety is a priority. There’s nothing worse than worrying about whether or not your money is safe in the bank. That’s why the United States has laws in place that protect our banking deposits. This law is known as FDIC, which stands for Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Now, what exactly is the FDIC and why does it gives us assurance when we deposit our money? Let’s take a closer look!
FDIC stands for Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, which was established by Congress in 1933 to help ensure the safety of deposits made into banks and other financial institutions across the United States. The insurance protects customers up to $250,000 per account type at each insured bank in case of bank failure or fraud. Texas First Bank conforms with all FDIC regulations so you can rest assured that your funds are safe with us!
The FDIC works by guaranteeing that any funds deposited in an insured bank will be returned even if the institution fails due to mismanagement or fraud. In other words, even if something goes wrong at the bank, your deposits will still be returned to you without any loss of principal or interest earned on those accounts up to the $250,000 limit per depositor per account type (e.g., checking, savings). With this guarantee from the federal government, customers can enjoy peace of mind when they open accounts at Texas First Bank.
Having knowledge about FDIC protection can give you extra confidence when deciding where to put your hard-earned money and make sure it stays safe and secure. Knowing how FDIC works can help you understand how banks are regulated and protected from potential losses due to fraud or mismanagement so that you never have to worry about losing your money if something goes wrong at Texas First Bank!
