The Community Reinvestment Act (CRA), enacted in 1977, requires the Federal Reserve and other federal banking regulators to encourage financial institutions to help meet the credit needs of the communities in which they do business, including low- and moderate-income (LMI) neighborhoods.

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) is an independent federal agency insuring deposits in U.S. banks and thrifts in the event of bank failures. The FDIC was created in 1933 to maintain public confidence and encourage stability in the financial system through the promotion of sound banking practices.

Insurance Limit Each co-owner of a joint account is insured up to $250,000 for the combined amount of his or her interests in all joint accounts at the same IDI. In determining a co-owner's interest in a joint account, the FDIC assumes each co-owner is an equal owner unless the IDI records clearly indicate otherwise.

There are a number of non-deposit investment products that are not insured by the FDIC, even if they were purchased from an insured bank....These include: Stock investments. Bond investments. Mutual funds. Crypto Assets. Life insurance policies. Annuities. Municipal securities. Safe deposit boxes or their contents.

Perhaps the most straightforward way to get another $250,000 insured is to open an account at a second FDIC member bank. If you're using accounts that earn interest at a bank with only FDIC insurance, be sure your deposits are low enough that your balance with interest will be within the $250,000 limit.

Deposit insurance is one of the significant benefits of having an account at an FDIC-insured bank?it's how the FDIC protects your money in the unlikely event of a bank failure. The standard insurance amount is $250,000 per depositor, per insured bank, for each account ownership category.

Open accounts with different ownership categories Since the FDIC limit is $250,000, $50,000 of your money isn't insured because you are the only depositor. One way to insure all of your money is to open accounts with different ownership categories.

Bank Runs. After a bank failure is announced, there is little reason to make a run on the bank, or withdraw your deposits, if your assets are insured. If the FDIC has already taken over, your money is no longer held by the weak and failing bank.

A second potential disruption is more direct: banks employ workers that may find themselves out of work subsequent to the failure of their company. Finally, a failing bank may leave local depositors and creditors with losses, reducing spending as a result of a wealth effect.
