What is the FDIC and how does it impact me?

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) is an independent agency of the U.S. government that protects bank customers against the loss of their insured deposits in the event that an FDIC-insured bank or savings association fails. FDIC insurance is backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government.

Customers of FDIC-insured banks, including Gate City Bank, are covered by the FDIC for up to $250,000 per depositor, per bank.
