How can I tell if the bank I'm purchasing is FDIC insured?
FDIC Insurance certificate numbers are shown on all RateService's Certificate of Deposit Detail pages. To verify FDIC insurance coverage directly with the FDIC, please visit the FDIC's website at http://www.FDIC.gov or visit their Bank Find page directly. While there, you may also want to review the FDIC publications "Your Insured Deposit" and "Insured or Not Insured".
