I am certain the coverage is $200,000.00 as of ~2-2.5 years ago for deposit accounts. This may be due to additional insurance but it is this number. I am setting up a new account for after XMass and will be looking into it in detail in early December so will have detailed up to date knowledge then for sure. Anyhow, as you said the shares are safe, just annoying to access for a short period of time. Old Joe
