Congress created the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation in 1933 to restore public confidence in the nation’s banking system.
The FDIC insures deposits at the nation’s banks and savings associations, 5,913 as of December 31, 2016. It promotes the safety and
soundness of these institutions by identifying, monitoring and addressing risks to which they are exposed. The FDIC receives no
federal tax dollars—insured financial institutions fund its operations.
