"It's a federal agency that protects certain types of accounts up to $250,000."

The FDIC is a federal agency that insures deposit accounts (checking, savings, CDs, money market deposit accounts) at member banks up to $250,000 per depositor, per insured bank, per ownership category. It does not insure investments (stocks, bonds, mutual funds) or protect against credit card fraud or bank robbery.
