People do not understand what FDIC insurance is.

It protects again bank failure. If the one's assets are drained from the bank, as long as the bank has not failed, it will have to make the account holder whole.

That's why a company would be stupid to hold $200M at Podunk Bank of Littletown, KS but is perfectly fine to hold it in a DDA account at Bank of America, Citi or Chase
