Currently, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. insures $250,000 per depositor for each ownership category for deposits held at an insured bank.
That year, the standard maximum deposit insurance amount was temporarily raised to $250,000, from $100,000.

This may include an increased, yet also "finite," deposit insurance limit, the FDIC's report states.
A third choice, targeted coverage, would provide different levels of deposit insurance coverage for different types of accounts, with higher coverage for business payment accounts.
