- xeromal 4y agoIsn't the difference that banks have insurance for those hacks?
- drewmol 4y agoYes banks have fidelity bonds called bankers blanket bonds (BBB) which cover losses from fraud, theft, etc. The FDIC doesn’t ensure against robbery, identity theft(banking fraud), etc. so this is an important protection for banks to provide.
- xeromal 4y agoAh! I had no idea FDIC didn't cover robbery. Thanks for clarifying!
- selecsosi 4y agoThey will cover the depositor's funds up to the 250k limit in the event of an event where the bank cannot return your funds, but banks assets or property is not covered under FDIC and need to be separately insured.
