A.M. Best Offers Helpful Insight into How Safe Your Bank Accounts Are.

OLDWICK, N.J. -- A new multimedia feature available at A.M. Best Co.'s Consumer Insurance Center will help consumers learn how to tell if their bank accounts are safe.

This latest feature in the ongoing consumer-orientated series helps explain how most bank customers' deposits are protected by federal insurance. This federal insurance has come into play recently in the wake of several banks failing in the United States.

Upcoming features will discuss what college students should know before moving back to campus, as well as what's new in health, life, car and homeowners insurance.
