Saving To Retire? Bank Option Gets Better

Thanks to a federal budget bill signed into law this month, using bank accounts to store large sums for retirement may become a more attractive option.

The legislation contains long-sought reforms to federal deposit insurance, which covers as much as $100,000 per depositor.

The biggest change: Starting no later than November, depositors will get as much as $250,000 in insurance coverage for retirement accounts. The amount covered in other accounts will stay at $100,000.
