When you deposit money in a bank, it doesn't just sit there; banks lend most of it to other customers as loans, using a system called fractional reserve banking. This process helps banks operate and create credit but means only a small portion of deposits is kept on hand. Despite this, your money is protected by FDIC insurance up to $250,000 per depositor, per bank, ensuring you get your insured funds back if the bank fails. Experts recommend keeping an emergency fund in a high-yield savings account to earn interest while maintaining easy access and safety.
