I don’t know where you are, but in the UK banks are part of a system that guarantees customers get their money back if the bank fails. There’s a maximum amount, which I think is £80k but I’d need to check. Other countries probably have similar.

Thank you everyone for your replies. Very helpful! I didn’t know any of this. So my countries of interest for this question were Uganda, Hungary and England. England is off since @kirstemis talked about the case for the uk.(thank you). Now just Uganda and Hungary. Im going to look into it for those two now that i know what to look for but if anyone already knows feel free to help tell me.

Not Yet! With the privatization attempts at Social Security and Medicare, why not privatize this type of insurance? Consumers could choose whether they want this kind of insurance! Then a bank collapse could begin in earnest!

Thank God for FDIC!

Everyone is talking about compensation schemes. But no one seems to have actually answered your question.

The simple answer to “can I insure this?” is nearly always yes. The problem comes when you ask the second question: “how much will it cost?”

So your can probably find someone somewhere to provide you this insurance but you will need to look for it and it will likely be a bespoke deal.
