that maintains the stability and
public confidence in the nation’s
financial system by insuring
deposits, examining and supervising
financial institutions, and managing
receiverships.
In its unique role as deposit insurer of
banks and savings associations, and in
cooperation with the other state and federal
regulatory agencies, the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation (FDIC) promotes
the safety and soundness of the U.S.

by providing timely and accurate financial
and economic information and analyses.
It minimizes disruptive effects from the
failure of banks and savings associations.
It assures fairness in the sale of financial
products and the provision of financial
services.
