What the FDIC Protects

Your Bank of Hawaii deposits are fully protected up to the standard deposit insurance amount—up to $250,000 per depositor, per insured bank, for each account ownership category—by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). FDIC insured accounts include checking accounts, savings accounts, certificates of deposit (CDs), money market deposit accounts, and deposits in IRAs.

Even during periods of government shutdown, this coverage remains in place because the FDIC is funded through assessments on insured institutions, not through appropriated funds.
