FDIC Insurance

At Riverstones Vista Capital , all our accounts bring you the peace of mind that comes with the protection of FDIC insurance – up to $250,000 per depositor, per insured bank, for each ownership category

Your FDIC coverage MAXIMIZED

Separate FDIC Insurance for different ownership categories maximizes your coverage.

  • Single Accounts: A single account is owned by one person, and all of that person's single accounts at a bank will be added together and insured up to $250,000.
  • Joint Owners: A joint account is owned and accessible by two or more people, and each person’s share of their jointly owned accounts are added together and insured up to $250,000 per joint owner.
  • Retirement Accounts: Traditional and Roth Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) are owned by one person but insured separately from single accounts, and all of that person's retirement accounts at a bank will be added together and insured up to $250,000.
  • Trust Accounts: Trust Accounts are generally insured based on the number of qualifying beneficiaries, and all of the trust’s accounts at a bank will be added together and insured up to $250,000 for each qualifying beneficiary.
