Maximize your FDIC insurance
First Foundation Bank is an FDIC-insured bank
First Foundation Bank is a member of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). The FDIC protects your First Foundation Bank deposits up to $250,000 per depositor for each qualifying account ownership category. This means you can rest assured that your deposits are safe up to FDIC limits, no matter what’s happening in the economy. In addition, our banking team members provide their expertise to our clients regarding how to secure additional FDIC coverage—either through appropriate account titling or through programs that provide additional FDIC coverage for their deposits.
