FDIC Deposit Insurance


Established by the Banking Act of 1933, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation exists to guarantee the safety of your money.  You can be confident that money deposited at Farmers Bank falls under this protection, backed by the credit of the United States government. Since the inception of the FDIC, no depositor has ever lost funds as a result of the failure of an FDIC-insured institution.

The standard insurance amount is $250,000 per depositor, per insured bank, for each account ownership category.
