Since 1933, no depositor has ever lost a penny of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insured funds. Legend Bank is a member of the FDIC and this means that each depositor is insured to at least $250,000. The standard insurance amount of $250,000 is per depositor, per insured bank, for each account ownership category. Owners of accounts in different ownership categories may qualify for more than $250,000 in protection. FDIC provides resources to help consumers better understand how deposit insurance works, including this video.

The FDIC also has the Electronic Deposit Insurance Estimator (EDIE) to help you calculate how much of your bank deposits are covered by FDIC deposit insurance and what portion of your funds (if any) exceeds the coverage limits.

Multi-Million-Dollar FDIC Insurance Through Your Legend Bank Relationship
With the ICS and CDARS services, you can enjoy the safety and simplicity that comes with access to multi-million-dollar FDIC insurance through a single bank relationship. You can choose the service or combination of services that can offer the returns and access to funds you seek.
How Do ICS and CDARS Work?
Institutions, like ours, that offer ICS and CDARS are members of the IntraFinetwork. When we place your funds through the ICS or CDARS service, that deposit is divided into amounts under the standard FDIC insurance maximum of $250,000. The funds are then placed in demand deposit accounts or money market deposit accounts (using ICS), or in CDs (using CDARS), at multiple banks. As a result, you can access coverage from many institutions while working directly with just one.

[1] When deposited funds are exchanged on a dollar-for-dollar basis with other institutions that use ICS, our bank can use the full amount of a deposit placed through ICS for local lending, satisfying some depositors’ local investment goals or mandates. Alternatively, with a depositor's consent, our bank may choose to receive fee income instead of deposits from other participating institutions. Under these circumstances, deposited funds would not be available for local lending.
Deposit placement through CDARS or ICS is subject to the terms, conditions, and disclosures in applicable agreements. Although deposits are placed in increments that do not exceed the FDIC standard maximum deposit insurance amount (“SMDIA”) at any one destination bank, a depositor’s balances at the institution that places deposits may exceed the SMDIA (e.g., before settlement for deposits or after settlement for withdrawals) or be uninsured (if the placing institution is not an insured bank). The depositor must make any necessary arrangements to protect such balances consistent with applicable law and must determine whether placement through CDARS or ICS satisfies any restrictions on its deposits. A list identifying IntraFi network banks appears athttps://www.intrafi.com/network-banks. The depositor may exclude banks from eligibility to receive its funds. IntraFi and ICS are registered service marks, and the IntraFi hexagon and IntraFi logo are service marks, of IntraFi Network LLC.
