FDIC Publishes 25th Anniversary Special Edition of Consumer Newsletter

FDIC Consumer News, the newsletter published quarterly by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation since the fall of 1993, is celebrating its 25th anniversary with a special expanded edition featuring updated versions of 25 of our more popular articles.

A lot has changed in banking and financial services in the last 25 years. For example, the FDIC deposit insurance limit increased from $100,000 to $250,000 and consumers who used to bank at branches now enjoy internet banking at home and mobile banking by smartphone from virtually anywhere. Even so, many of the core concepts on matters such as saving, borrowing money, and avoiding fraud and theft remain generally the same. The new guide, entitled “25 Years of Tips You Can Bank On: Time-Tested Strategies for Managing and Protecting Your Money,” includes one article from each year going back to 1993. Topics include saving for retirement, understanding FDIC deposit insurance coverage, money tips for travelers, and how to search for lost or forgotten bank accounts.
