Detailed explanation-1: -Well, when you have certain types of accounts at banks insured by the FDIC, if the bank can’t afford to give you the money you’re supposed to have in your account, the FDIC will replace it. As a matter of fact, your account is secured to at least $250, 000 per depositor per insured bank.

Detailed explanation-2: -FDIC deposit insurance does not protect against losses due to theft or fraud, which are addressed by other laws.
