The mission of the FDIC is to maintain stability and public confidence in the nation's financial system. The FDIC supervises a vast majority of the country’s community banks –the institutions that provide loans to farmers and small businesses, make it possible for entrepreneurs to launch start-ups, support local governments as they build libraries and parks, and help people buy homes. These essential functions are the very things that help keep America running.
