New Insurance Publications Available in Spanish

The FDIC's two new publications to help explain federal deposit insurance coverage are now available in Spanish. One brochure, Insuring Your Deposits (Seguro Para Sus Depósitos), answers basic questions that individuals and families ask most frequently. The other publication, Your Insured Deposits —FDIC's Guide to Deposit Insurance Coverage (Sus Depósitos Asegurados), is a comprehensive guide to the deposit insurance rules.

You can read or download the English and Spanish versions of these publications at www.fdic.gov/deposit/deposits/index.html on the FDIC’s Web site. Single copies are available free of charge by completing the online order form at www2.fdic.gov/depositinsuranceregister or by calling or writing the FDIC's Public Information Center.
