I was just going through some banking materials and came across information regarding FDIC insurance. Is it really necessary for a bank to get FDIC insurance? Are all accounts covered under it? _________________ Register Now to have your Insurance queries solved. |

Traditional bank accounts e.g. savings, checking, trust, IRAs, CDs, are all covered. Banks would also offer money market deposits that are covered under FDIC. _________________ Insuranceguy.ampminsure.org |

| I have come across a lot of investment options e.g. mutual funds, life policies, annuities, bonds and stocks. These are the non-deposit products and hence are not covered under FDIC. |

FDIC also doesn't cover safe deposit boxes. You could apply for separate coverage for all the items contained in such boxes. _________________ Register Now to have your Insurance queries solved. |

| The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) is a United States government corporation created by the Glass-Steagall Act of 1933. |

No, not exactly, IRAs and Trusts are not FDIC insured, depending on the account.
However, you can get a brokerage account, funded with CD's or Money Markets that is SIPC insured, which is 5 times the coverage. |
