Each account is insured up to $250k, and you can open as many accounts as you wish. Source: https://www.fdic.gov/resources/deposit-insurance/faq/index.html htt

  Nononono!!!! > Deposits are insured up to at least $250,000 per depositor, per FDIC-insured bank, per ownership category If you want have more than $250k insured in regular accounts, spread it across multiple banks (or put some in a joint acct, but that has its own risks). Opening a chequing account and a savings account at the same bank doesn’t give you $500k of coverage if you were to put 250k in each.

    Thank you for this. I was under the assumption one could open any number of accounts at the same bank and get the same insurance guarantee. It is good to read the specific language.
