A savings account with a national bank.

FDIC (Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation) insures deposits at FDIC-member banks (checking, savings, CDs) up to applicable limits (generally $250,000 per depositor, per insured bank, per ownership category). Credit unions are insured by the NCUA, brokerage accounts are not FDIC‑insured (they have SIPC protection for securities), and PayPal balances are not directly FDIC‑insured unless swept into an FDIC‑insured bank account.
