FDIC Coverage

FDIC deposit insurance protects the deposits of bank customers at financial institutions regulated by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Bank customers don’t need to purchase deposit insurance; it is automatic for any deposit account opened at an FDIC-insured bank. Deposits are insured up to at least $250,000 per depositor, per FDIC-insured bank, and per ownership category. TowneBank is a member of the FDIC.

Members of a household can deposit funds into different accounts, with each maintaining standard coverage of up to $250,000 in separate Ownership Categories. The FDIC has an example on its website of one household having multiple Ownership Categories totaling $3.5 million in coverage. 

Our experienced bankers are here to assist you in understanding this coverage.

FDIC Insurance FAQs

  • FDIC deposit insurance protects our TowneBank members. Because of this, our members don’t need to purchase deposit insurance as it is automatic for any deposit account opened at TowneBank. Deposits are insured up to at least $250,000 per depositor, per ownership category at TowneBank.
    • Single Accounts (owned by one person with no beneficiaries): $250,000 per owner
    • Joint Accounts (two or more persons with no beneficiaries): $250,000 per co-owner
    • Revocable trust accounts: Each owner is insured up to $250,000 for each unique eligible beneficiary named or identified in the revocable trust, subject to specific limitations and requirements.
  • No. FDIC deposit insurance only covers certain deposit products, such as checking and savings accounts, MMDAs, and certificates of deposit (CDs). Visit the "Are My Accounts Insured by the FDIC?" on the FDIC's website for a full list of the types of deposit products that are covered by FDIC insurance and the amount of deposit insurance coverage that may be available under FDIC's different ownership categories.
  • All deposits owned by a corporation, partnership, or unincorporated association at TowneBank are added together and insured up to $250,000, separately from the personal accounts of the owners or members.
  • You can get detailed information about your specific deposit insurance coverage by accessing the FDIC's Electronic Deposit Insurance Estimator (EDIE) and entering information about your accounts.

    You can also visit the FDIC Information and Support Center to submit a request for deposit insurance coverage information, or you can call the FDIC at 1-877-ASK-FDIC (1-877-275-3342) and an FDIC deposit insurance specialist will help you calculate your deposit insurance coverage.
  • Yes. The FDIC insures deposits according to the ownership category in which the funds are insured and how the accounts are titled. The standard deposit insurance coverage limit is $250,000 per depositor, per FDIC-insured bank, per ownership category.

    Deposits held in different ownership categories are separately insured, up to at least $250,000, even if held at the same bank. For example, a revocable trust account (including living trusts and informal revocable trusts commonly referred to as payable on death (POD) accounts) with one owner naming three unique beneficiaries can be insured up to $750,000. See "Revocable and Irrevocable Trust Accounts" on the FDIC's website for more information about how deposit insurance is calculated for these types of accounts.


*When deposited funds are exchanged on a dollar-for-dollar basis with other banks that use CDARS, our bank can use the full amount of a deposit placed through CDARS for local lending, satisfying some depositors’ local investment goals or mandates. Alternatively, with a depositor’s consent, our bank may choose to receive fee income instead of deposits from other banks. Under these circumstances, deposited funds would not be available for local lending.

Deposit placement through CDARS or ICS is subject to the terms, conditions, and disclosures in applicable agreements. Although deposits are placed in increments that do not exceed the FDIC standard maximum deposit insurance amount (“SMDIA”) at any one destination bank, a depositor’s balances at the institution that places deposits may exceed the SMDIA (e.g., before settlement for deposits or after settlement for withdrawals) or be uninsured (if the placing institution is not an insured bank). The depositor must make any necessary arrangements to protect such balances consistent with applicable law and must determine whether placement through CDARS or ICS satisfies any restrictions on its deposits. A list identifying IntraFi network banks appears at https://www.intrafi.com/network-banks. The depositor may exclude banks from eligibility to receive its funds. IntraFi and CDARS are registered service marks, and the IntraFi hexagon and IntraFi logo are service marks, of IntraFi Network LLC.
