The FDIC insurance limit applies to each account holder at each bank. Here is how the FDIC defines coverage for different account holders by some common "ownership" types:

10

11

- **Single accounts**. Deposit accounts (e.g., checking, savings) owned by one person. FDIC insurance covers up to $250,000 per owner for all single accounts at each bank.

12

- **Joint accounts**. Deposit accounts owned by two or more people. FDIC insurance covers up to $250,000 per owner for all joint accounts at each bank.

13

- **Certain retirement accounts**. Accounts such as IRAs and self-directed defined contribution plans1. All such accounts owned by the same person at the same bank are aggregated towards the $250,000 FDIC coverage limit for these types of accounts.

All deposits in your Schwab Bank checking account and savings account, along with any deposits swept to Schwab Bank through the Bank Sweep Feature, are added together to determine your total amount of FDIC insurance coverage at Schwab Bank (per account holder "ownership" type, as described in the previous section). This rule applies whether you open an account directly at the bank or Schwab brokerage holds the accounts on your behalf. (See Example 2 below.)

27

All deposits held at the same FDIC-insured bank in the same ownership capacity (as described in the previous section) are added together to determine your total amount of FDIC insurance coverage at that bank. This rule applies whether you open an account directly at the bank or Schwab brokerage holds the accounts on your behalf. (See Example 2 below.)

 The following investments do not receive FDIC coverage through your Schwab brokerage account:
 - Stocks

 - Mutual funds
 Example 1: If you have a Schwab brokerage account, in just your name, with two $250,000 CDs from two different banks, and you have no other deposits at those banks, your CDs would be covered for a total of $500,000 ($250,000 at each bank). However, if those two CDs are from the same bank, then FDIC insurance would cover a total of only $250,000 (leaving $250,000 of these CDs uninsured by the FDIC).
 Example 2: If you have a Schwab Bank High Yield Investor Checking account, in just your name, with $200,000 and a Schwab brokerage (non-retirement) account with Bank Sweep Feature, in just your name, that has swept cash balances of $75,000 into deposits at Schwab Bank, then FDIC insurance would cover a total of $250,000 (leaving $25,000 of these deposits uninsured by the FDIC).
 Calculating deposit insurance can be complex, especially if you have multiple accounts registered in the same ownership capacity.
