To endorse the check, you'll just have to flip it over and sign the line with the x to the left of it. This line will be found at the top of the check, and you'll sign it sideways. Do this right before you go to the ATM or the bank, so that your check cannot be cashed if you lose it. If you don't endorse the check, that makes it harder for the bank to accept it from a person who wants to cash it for ulterior motives.
FDIC insured means that the government will give you your money back (up to $100,000) in case your bank goes out of business and can't pay you. If you have more than $100,000 to put into savings, try spreading it out over several FDIC banks with no more than $100,000 in each account.
FDIC insurance refers to insurance policies created by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, which is an organization wholly run by the government of the United States.he FDIC sells insurance policies to banks which insures the checking and savings accounts at those banks against the failure of those banks. Thus, when you open an account with a bank, that bank purchases insurance on that account for you from the FDIC.
