FDIC COVERAGE
Peace of Mind for Your Deposits
There are multiple ways to ensure your Physician Bank deposits over $250,000 are FDIC insured. We can help you select the option that fits best with you and your family.
1. FDIC COVERAGE BASED ON ACCOUNT OWNERSHIP CATEGORIES
FDIC Insurance coverage is determined by the ownership categories of each deposit account. FDIC insurance is not limited to $250,000 per depositor per bank. Rather, depositors can select one or more ownership categories for their deposits to be eligible for FDIC insurance in excess of $250,000. Categories include individual, joint, payable on death, and Trusts, to name a few.
We encourage all depositors to use the FDIC’s online Electronic Deposit Insurance Estimator, an online FDIC Insurance tool, to calculate coverage based on your personal situation.
FDIC DEPOSIT INSURANCE COVERAGE BY ACCOUNT OWNERSHIP CATEGORY
| Account Ownership Category | FDIC Insurance Coverage Limits |
| Single Accounts (Owned by One Person) | $250,000 per owner |
| Joint Accounts (Owned by Two or More Persons) | $250,000 per co-owner |
| Certain Retirement Accounts (Includes IRAs) | $250,000 per co-owner |
| Revocable Trust Accounts | $250,000 per owner per unique beneficiary |
