The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) is a United States government corporation created by the Glass-Steagall Act of 1933. It provides deposit insurance, which guarantees the safety of deposits in member banks, currently up to $250,000 per depositor per bank. The FDIC insures deposits at 8,246 institutions with $13.5 trillion in assets.

New Deposit Insurance Limits - The standard insurance amount of $250,000 per depositor is in effect through December 31, 2013. On January 1, 2014, the standard insurance amount will return to $100,000 per depositor for all account categories except IRAs and other certain retirement accounts, which will remain at $250,000 per depositor. For more information visit: Deposit Insurance Simplification Fact Sheet.

Insured institutions are required to place signs at their place of business stating that "deposits are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States Government." Since the start of FDIC insurance on January 1, 1934, no depositor has lost a single cent of insured funds as a result of a failure.

Money Market Account - Vanguard?
Q. I have $15,000 that I would like to transfer to Vanguard. I heard about the 5.10% interest rate that Vanguard is paying for their "Prime Money Market Fund." However, I also read in their site the following: "A money market mutual fund investment is **not insured** or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although a money market mutual fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in such a fund" ( https://flagship.vanguard .com/VGApp/hnw/FundsSnaps hot?FundId=0030&FundIntEx t=INT ) Does this mean that I can actually lose my money because their Money Market accounts are not insured?

A. I have had a Vanguard Prime Money Market Account for years now, and I love it. I did a lot of research before choosing that place for my emergency funds, and I have never regretted it.

They simply put that as a disclaimer so people don't confuse their investment with cash at a bank. But the only way you'll lose money in a money market is if the government defaults on its debt--ie refuses to pay back all the… [cont.]
