Mission
The FDIC, an independent agency created
by the Congress, contributes to stability and
public confidence in the nation’s financial
system by insuring deposits, examining
and supervising financial institutions, and
managing receiverships.
The Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation (FDIC) is the independent
deposit insurance agency created by Congress
in 1933 to maintain stability and public
confidence in the nation’s banking system.
In its unique role as deposit insurer of banks
and savings associations, and in cooperation
with the other state and federal regulatory
agencies, the FDIC promotes the safety and
soundness of the U.S. financial system and the
insured depository institutions by identifying,
monitoring and addressing risks to the deposit
insurance funds.
The FDIC promotes public understanding
and the development of sound public policy
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.
The FDIC’s long and continuing tradition
of excellence in public service is supported
and sustained by a highly skilled and diverse
workforce that continuously monitors and
responds rapidly and successfully to changes
in the financial environment.
