FDIC Coverage

FDIC insurance protects the deposits in your M.Y. Safra Bank account to the fullest extent of the law

As an institution insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), deposits at M.Y. Safra Bank receive full FDIC coverage up to $250,000 per depositor, for each account ownership category. FDIC insurance covers all deposit accounts offered by M.Y. Safra Bank.

The FDIC provides separate coverage for deposits held in different account ownership categories. Thus, a depositor at M.Y. Safra Bank can maintain more than $250,000 in deposits in more than one account and still be fully insured, provided the accounts meet certain requirements. The coverage limits outlined in the chart below refer to the total deposit coverage an account holder has in the same ownership category.

Basic FDIC Deposit Insurance Coverage Limits
Single Accounts (owned by one person)	$250,000 per owner
Joint Accounts (two or more persons)	$250,000 per co-owner
IRAs and certain other retirement accounts	$250,000 per owner
Revocable Trust Accounts	$250,000 per owner per beneficiary subject to specific limitations and requirements
Corporation, Partnership and Unincorporated Association Accounts	$250,000 per corporation, partnership or unincorporated association
