The correct answer is $250,000.00. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) provides insurance coverage for deposits held at banks and savings associations. The current limit for FDIC insurance on a single account is $250,000. This means that if an individual has a deposit account with a balance of up to $250,000, their funds are fully insured by the FDIC in case the bank fails. Any amount exceeding $250,000 in a single account would not be covered by FDIC insurance.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
Cashiers CheckExplanation
A check written by the bank on its own funds is called a Cashiers Check. This type of check is considered more secure than a personal check because it is guaranteed by the bank. The bank withdraws the funds from the payer's account and holds them in its own account until the check is presented for payment. This ensures that the check will not bounce or be returned due to insufficient funds. Cashiers checks are often used for large transactions or when a guaranteed form of payment is required.Rate this question:
