Is withdrawing all of your money from the bank the best thing to do if the worst is coming? ?
This so called FDIC is $100,000. Does that mean you get the $100,000 when the bank is in trouble regardless of how much you have in your account? Or does it only qualify to people with more than $100K in their accounts? What about those people with amounts less than the amount? would they lose all their money if that is the case?

Banks that are FDIC insured mean that you are guaranteed $100,000 of your money if the bank goes under. This does not mean that everyone gets this amount if the bank goes under. It means if you have $500,000 in the bank, you are only guaranteed to get $100,000 of that back. If you have less than $100,000 you are guaranteed to receive that full amount if the bank fails. DO NOT pull all your money out of the bank. It will only help make the situation worse. If anything, put money in a high-interest savings account so you can earn interest at this rough time.

The FDIC is what insures your money. It's a corporation..not a dollar amount. They insure your money up to the amount of $100,000. Nobody will lose savings or checking or anything else insured with the FDIC. Let's say you have $5,000 in the bank and the bank crumbles. Your money is safe.

Please do not go pull your money out of the bank. That will only contribute to the problem. The FDIC insures UP TO $100,000 per bank account. You can have $100,000 at 10 different banks and it is ALL insured. If the bank crumbles and you have $101,000, you COULD lose that last $1,000.This "bailout plan" that is being discussed will potentially increase this from the current $100,000 to $250,000.

Really...everyone needs to stop even worrying about the banking conditions and your money and stuff. Nothing is going to happen tour money no matter where you bank at as long as its FDIC insured. everyone needs to stopped thinking they need to take their money out because they dont, it makes the situation worse.

Only if you suspect that the FDIC will run out of money should you take all your frigging money out and run.

No, the FDIC will cover your insured assets at the bank UP TO $100,000 per account holder in the case of checking, savings, CDs, and money market accounts. IRA's are insured for up to $250,000, which is in addition to the $100,000 worth of insurance for your regular accounts. So as long as you don't have more than this amount in all of your insured accounts at your financial institution, you will not loose any money if the bank were to fail.

Note that mutual funds and exchange traded funds (ETFs) are not FDIC insured, so if you loose these, they're gone, even if they are tied to your IRA.

Take all your money out, its safer in your hands, dont listen to what bankers say.

No, taking all your money will just contribute to the problem and may in fact hurt rather than help.

It is the upper limit that FDIC would reimburse you.

Money you have in a single account is insured up to $100,000. If you have $1,000 in the account, then that is what you get. If you have $150,000 you only get $100,000. You can only get money up to the amount of your deposit. You will also need to show proof. I don't think most Americans will have to worry about losing their money in any bank that fails.
