FDIC Information
As a client of Thomaston Savings Bank, you can bank with confidence knowing your deposit accounts are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, an independent agency created by the U.S. Congress. Your deposit accounts are insured for up to at least $250,000 per depositor.
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) is an independent agency of the United States government that protects the funds depositors place in banks. FDIC insurance is backed by the full faith and credit of the United States government. Since the FDIC was established in 1933, no depositor has ever lost a single penny of FDIC-insured funds.
