The deposit insurance guarantee covers up to $250,000 per account in FDIC-insured banks, funded by insurance premiums and the Deposit Insurance Fund’s interest. In the event of bank failure, the FDIC sells the bank or pays the insured deposits. In systemic risks, the $250,000 limit can be raised, as happened in 2023 with Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank. Proposed changes include raising the limit to $10 million for business accounts.
