FDIC Provides Q&As for Consumers as Part of National Consumer Protection Week — 2018-03-05

In observance of National Consumer Protection Week (NCPW) March 4-10, 2018, the FDIC will post a new question and answer (Q&A) on a different banking topic each weekday at www.fdic.gov/ncpw. The five Q&As — covering mobile banking, credit and debit card security precautions, safe deposit boxes, credit reports, and debt collectors — along with other consumer information, will be accessible for reference year-round. The FDIC's webpage also will feature quick links to several of the agency's most popular online resources for consumers as well as small businesses: “EDIE,” the FDIC's Electronic Deposit Insurance Estimator: This online calculator assists consumers and businesses in determining their deposit insurance coverage for each FDIC-insured bank where they have deposit accounts. EDIE also provides a printable report showing whether those deposits are fully protected or if some exceed the federal limits.
