They created the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) in 1933 – it provides insurance protection to customers (depositors) if the bank goes out of business. • FDIC guarantees that up to $100,000 of a person’s money is insured & safe. • Since the FDIC began, no one has lost a penny of insured money because of a bank failure!!!
