The FDIC has produced a CD-ROM called Inventory of Deposit Insurance Guidance (IDIG) to serve as a “job aid” for bank employees by compiling – in one location – an inventory of all deposit insurance guidance.

The FDIC developed the CD-ROM as a resource tool primarily for bank employees who work with deposit insurance coverage issues. The job aid will provide timely access to information, resources, tools, and questions and answers regarding deposit insurance coverage so that bank employees can respond more quickly and accurately to their customers. For bankers who do not have access to the Internet, this job aid can be operated using a stand-alone computer.

IDIG is an electronic support system that includes a searchable database of deposit insurance information categorized by topic. It has links to all FDIC deposit insurance publications, application tools and services. The job aid also has a detailed list of questions and answers and an “A to Z” glossary of terms.
