When the stock market crashed, everyone panicked and withdrew their money from their banks. Banks did not keep all of the money, they loaned money out etc. The banks could not pay all those who were wanting to withdrawal their money. As a result, the banks failed. Many people lost their life savings. In order to try and restore some faith into banks, Roosevelt put the FDIC in place. The FDIC guarantees up to 250,000 per depositor, per insured bank, for each ownership account. This means you can have multiple accounts and your money will be insured up to 250,000. Having multiple accounts protects you if you have large amounts of money. Roosevelt put many plans and programs in place in order to try and jump start the economy. His plan proved successful.
