On 1 April 2024, new requirements for US bank deposit insurance coverage for trust accounts took effect. These requirements apply to insured depository institutions, which include the over 4,500 US banks and similar organizations that are chartered under US law and hold deposits that are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
