To ensure your deposits are fully protected, spread your money across multiple banks, keeping no more than $250,000 at any one institution. Additionally, consider opening accounts in different ownership categories—individual, joint, and retirement accounts are each insured separately up to $250,000. For temporarily large sums, use a Certificate of Deposit Account Registry Service (CDARS) to distribute your money across multiple banks while managing it through one institution with a single statement. #FDIC #DepositProtection #BankingTips #FinancialSecurity #MoneyManagement #CDARS
