Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) is an independent agency of the United States government created in 1933 to protect depositors’ funds held in banks and other financial institutions. The FDIC insures deposits up to a certain amount, currently $250,000 per account holder at each insured bank or savings association. It also examines and supervises these institutions for safety and soundness purposes.

The FDIC’s primary purpose is to provide deposit insurance so that if a member institution fails due to insolvency or fraud, customers do not lose their money; rather it will be returned by the FDIC up to the maximum allowable limit set forth by law ($250,000). In addition, by providing deposit insurance coverage on all accounts regardless of balance size or type of customer relationship with an insured institution helps reinforce consumer confidence in banking services overall.

Additionally, as part of its supervision role over depository institutions ,the FDIC verifies compliance with consumer protection laws such as Truth-in-Lending Act , Equal Credit Opportunity Act & Home Mortgage Disclosure act which are designed to ensure fair lending practices & transparency when offering credit products .It also ensures that consumers have access clear disclosure information regarding fees & terms associated with various types of offered services like checking accounts debit cards etc.,and since cryptocurrency falls under this category it would be subject regulation from FDIc accordingly..
