Personal Finance & Money Asked by John Wu on May 27, 2021
The FDIC deposit insurance limit is $250,000 per depositor.
Let’s say I have $350,000 in my savings account and a loan with an outstanding principal of $200,000. The accounts are with the same bank.
If the bank folds, and depositors need to seek relief from the FDIC, what is my total balance afterward? Do I lose the excess $100,000 in my savings account, and I still owe $200,000 on the loan? Or is the excess deducted from the loan, so I end up with $250,000 in savings and $100,000 left on the loan?
No, in a bank failure, deposit insurance limits are related to deposits only; deposits are a bank's liability.
A loan would be sold or assumed as part of the bank failure's resolution; loans are included in the bank's assets.
