FDIC
Created
in 1933 under the Glass-Steagall Act, the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation provides deposit insurance
for its bank members. It also examines and supervises
certain financial institutions for safety and soundness,
performs certain consumer-protection functions, and
manages banks in receiverships. Since the start of the
FDIC, not one depositor has lost a single cent due to
bank failure.
