Was the fdic successful

Yes, the FDIC (Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation) was successful. In 1933, The United States was engulfed in a "Great Depression" and many people were put out of jobs. The unemployment rate was over 20%. The president Franklin D. Roosevelt signed the Banking Act of 1933. This legislation established the FDIC as a temporary government corporation. The Banking Act of 1935 made the FDIC a permanent agency of the government and provided permanent deposit insurance maintained at the $5,000 level.I hope you all found this information helpful.
