New tool for depositers of a failed bank to determine the insurance of accounts. IndyMac is the only bank listed for now and offers a good way to check your accounts.

Is My Account Fully Insured?

This service is only available for banks that failed after July 1, 2008. The customer must enter each account number to determine that account's status. If you have multiple accounts with the failed bank, please enter each account number one at a time.
