Deposit insurance is at the core of the FDIC's mission, and it is vital to ensuring the safety and soundness of our nation's financial system. To accomplish this, the FDIC maintains the Deposit Insurance Fund (DIF), which is primarily funded through quarterly assessments on insured institutions. The FDIC provides a number of resources to help bankers understand and calculate their deposit insurance assessments, and understand how the FDIC manages the DIF.
If you have questions, suggestions, or requests about deposit insurance assessments, you can contact us directly and confidentially using our online form.
