Is EmigrantDirect FDIC insured?
Yes, to the maximum allowed by law. Since each of EmigrantDirect and DollarSavingsDirect is an online banking division of Emigrant Bank, any deposits you have at Emigrant Bank, EmigrantDirect or DollarSavingsDirect are aggregated and FDIC insured up to $250,000 per depositor. Keep in mind that individual and joint accounts are insured separately, so if you have both types of accounts with us, your total deposits can be insured up to $500,000; that’s up to $250,000 in all your individual accounts, and up to an additional $250,000 in your joint accounts. Plus, you may even be able to extend your FDIC insurance coverage at EmigrantDirect if you establish deposit accounts in different ownership categories. View our handy chart to learn more.
