You can have more than $250,000 at one insured bank or savings association and still be fully insured provided the accounts meet certain requirements. For instance, if you have a joint account then each person listed on the account can have $250,000. This is where living revocable trusts fit in. A living revocable trust account at an FDIC insured bank can have more than $250,000 as long as it has more than one beneficiary.
