The federal government administers insurance funds responsible for protecting depositors from losses when banks fail. More than 1,400 banks and 700 savings and loans closed between 1982 and 1992. Five hundred banks failed during the great recession of 2008 including the largest ever, Washington Mutual – with $182 billion in deposits. Don’t assume that because your bank, savings and loan or credit union no longer exists that unclaimed funds are lost forever. Your account may have been transferred to a successor bank or a government custodian after a merger or acquisition, or you may be entitled to collect insurance proceeds – up to $250,0000 per account.
The FDIC insures deposits; examines and supervises financial institutions for safety, soundness, and consumer protection; makes large and complex financial institutions resolvable; and manages receiverships. Even if the above investments were purchased from an insured bank. This list includes banks which have failed since October 1, 2000. Before sharing sensitive information, make sure you’re on a federal government site.
