Your FDIC coverage MAXIMIZED
Separate FDIC Insurance for different ownership categories maximizes your coverage.
- Single Accounts: A single account is owned by one person, and all of that person's single accounts at a bank will be added together and insured up to $250,000.
- Joint Owners: A joint account is owned and accessible by two or more people, and each person’s share of their jointly owned accounts are added together and insured up to $250,000 per joint owner.
- Retirement Accounts: Traditional and Roth Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) are owned by one person but insured separately from single accounts, and all of that person's retirement accounts at a bank will be added together and insured up to $250,000.
- Trust Accounts: Trust Accounts are generally insured based on the number of qualifying beneficiaries, and all of the trust’s accounts at a bank will be added together and insured up to $250,000 for each qualifying beneficiary.
