Informational resources on deposit insurance coverage are described below. These resources can be found on the FDIC’s website at: https://www.fdic.gov/resources/deposit-insurance/. The FDIC provides these resources free of charge to consumers and IDI employees.

Electronic Deposit Insurance Estimator (EDIE)

EDIE is an application that assists IDI employees and consumers in calculating deposit insurance coverage. The calculator is ideal for analyzing actual deposits established or hypothetical examples that depositors or IDI employees may wish to explore for the amount of FDIC deposit insurance coverage that may be available.

Please note that no personally identifiable information is necessary to access EDIE’s calculations. After the user enters the account information, EDIE generates a printable report clearly showing the amount of insurance coverage for the user’s accounts. EDIE can be used to calculate the insurance coverage of single, certain retirement, joint, trust, government, and business accounts.

Depositors and IDI employees may contact the FDIC at 1-877-ASK-FDIC (1-877-275-3342) to discuss their specific situations.

  • Deposit Insurance at a Glance, available in English, Spanish, Korean, Vietnamese, Tagalog, and Chinese (traditional and simplified), is a brochure that provides basic information on the common ownership categories of insurance coverage, including single accounts, certain retirement accounts, joint accounts, and trust accounts.
