FDIC's Electronic Deposit Insurance Estimator

There's a cool new feature on the FDIC's Website: EDIE, the Electronic Deposit Insurance Estimator. It helps ensure that all of your funds are protected by the FDIC. FDIC insurance limits were recently raised to $250,000 per account ($500,000 for a joint account) through December 31, 2009.

Take it one FDIC-insured bank at a time. Enter all of your personal and business accounts for that bank, then go through all three steps. When your report for the first bank is complete, start back here with your next bank and so on, until you have a report for each bank where you have deposit accounts.

And remember, all of the banks in the MoneyAisle network are Members FDIC.
