The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) is the independent agency that insures bank deposits and supports financial stability. By guaranteeing deposits up to a limit, it prevents bank runs and protects depositors.
It supervises and examines banks and, when a bank fails, leads the resolution (selling assets or transferring deposits). As seen in the 2023 regional-bank failures, it steps to the fore during episodes of financial stress.
