Deposits are insured by the FDIC (Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation - for banks) or the NCUSIF (National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund - for credit unions). These are both basically insurance companies that are funded by their respective industries and step in when a financial institution fails, to ensure that deposits up to a set limit are fully recoverable by depositors. Before the latest financial crisis, coverage was capped at $100,000 per depositor per institution; prodded by the crisis, it has been increased to $250,000 (though this may be temporary). Deposit insurance was one of othe major regulatory responses to the financial crisis that caused the Great Depression.
$100,000This is sort of complicated. Per www.fdic.gov:"The basic insurance amount is $250,000 per depositor, per insured bank."The $250,000 amount applies to all depositors of an insured bank."Deposits in separate branches of an insured bank are not separately insured. Deposits in one insured bank are insured separately from deposits in another insured bank."Deposits maintained in different categories of legal ownership at the same bank can be separately insured. Therefore, it is possible to have deposits of more than $250,000 at one insured bank and still be fully insured."

Yes. Chase bank is FDIC Insured. All deposits upto $250,000 in chase deposit accounts are insured by the FDIC. Chase bank is one of the largest banks in USA and it wouldn't be so if it was FDIC un-insured
It differs from country to country. For ex: in USA FDIC insures all customer deposits. All deposits of upto USD 250,000 is insured/guaranteed by the FDIC. Similarly in India the RBI insures all deposits. All deposits of upto Rs. 1,00,000/- is insured by the RBI.
Services available from a FDIC insured bank are the same services that any bank would offer, such as banks accounts, loans, mortgages, and so on. The benefit of banking with a FDIC insured bank is that one's deposits are protected/insured up to $250,000.00 if something should happen to the bank.
Bank deposits come under this category, provided the bank is insured.
FDIC - Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
The FDIC is a quasi-government entity that insures bank deposits. There exists a maximum to which deposits are insured, and the "coverage" is triggered when a bank becomes insolvent. It is not an insurance company in the common sense of that term.
If your bank is FDIC insured then your deposits are covered by the US government. Each account will have a maximum insurance limit which changes from time to time.
FDIC insurance covers bank deposits, not home loans. If you pull money from a credit line and deposit it with a bank, those deposited funds may be FDIC insured.
