A depositor describes his experience at ANB Financial Bank after it was closed by the Fed on Friday. There are some good lessons learned for those who deposit over $100,000 into a bank account. You can safely go above $100,000 at a bank, but you have to be very careful.

This is really helpful information. It sound like a family of five using revocable trusts could be FDIC insured up to $1,000,000.
Father and 4 beneficiaries = $500,000
Mother and 4 beneficiaries= $500,000
Does that sound correct?
Glad to hear they received their FDIC money promptly although they lost the interest.

Actually, 4 qualified beneficiaries on one account may only be insured to $400K. It does get confusing, and I would recommend people to use the insurance estimator at the FDIC to verify their specific cases.
