For customers with accounts in multiple ownership categories at a single financial institution, FDIC coverage is based on the titling of the accounts and the category of accounts, not the number of accounts. Categories of ownership include single or individual, joint, revocable and irrevocable trust, business, certain retirement accounts, and others. For example, a customer who owns a checking account and a CD titled in his or her own name as a single owner will receive a total of $250,000 of combined coverage for both accounts. But if that same customer also has a joint account (which is a separate category from individual accounts), he or she could receive an additional $250,000 deposit insurance for the funds held in the joint account.
