Flagstar Bank Offers 50 Million FDIC Insurance on Certificates of Deposit

A new service from Flagstar allows consumers to keep up to $50 million in certificates of deposit (https://www.flagstar.com/publish/fbc/fsb/en/www/pe/sa/cd/certificateofdeposit.html) safe with FDIC insurance. Flagstar is now a member of a special network of banks called CDARS (Certificate of Deposit Account Registry Service).

With the CDARS (https://www.flagstar.com/publish/fbc/fsb/en/www/cdars_landing.html) service, when you place a large deposit with Flagstar, your funds are dispersed to other FDIC-insured banks in the network, so both principal and interest are eligible for complete FDIC protection.* You'll have the convenience of dealing with just one bank, earning one rate and receiving one statement.

"Before CDARS, there were few ways investors could enjoy full FDIC insurance on certificates of deposit over the $100,000 limitation, other than keeping accounts at multiple financial institutions or spreading deposits at one bank among different owners and different types of accounts," said Sandro DiNello, head of Retail Banking for Flagstar.

DiNello said CDARS saves certificate of deposit customers from having to manage multiple bank relationships, administer various interest rates, organize interest disbursements from various institutions and manually consolidate monthly statements.

Flagstar's CDARS service is available to all U.S. residents, regardless of geographic location. Those interested in a CDARS certificate of deposit account should visit a local Flagstar banking center, flagstar.com or call (800) 642-0039.
