1. Split Your Funds Across Multiple Banks. Remember, FDIC coverage is per depositor, per bank. So you can get two, three, or four times the FDIC coverage by simply opening multiple accounts.

Does the FDIC differentiate between different branches of the same bank?

However, the FDIC does not differentiate between different branches of the same bank.

Therefore, you would have $250,000 of uninsured deposits at Wells Fargo.
