Are there banks that insure more than $250K?

Banks that are FDIC members follow the $250,000 coverage limit. It's possible, however, to insure excess deposits over that amount through banks that belong to IntraFi Network Deposits (formerly CDARS). You may also be able to increase your coverage limit by using cash management accounts with an FDIC sweep feature offered at a brokerage.

How do millionaires insure their money?

Millionaires can insure their money by depositing funds in FDIC-insured accounts, NCUA-insured accounts, through IntraFi Network Deposits, or through cash management accounts. They may also allocate some of their cash to low-risk investments, such as Treasury securities or government bonds. However, they might not worry as much about insurance and choose to keep their money in stocks, real estate, or other vehicles. It’s a very personal decision.

Are point accounts FDIC-insured to $500,000?

Joint accounts are insured up to $250,000 per owner. So if you own a joint bank account with your spouse, for example, you'd each be covered up to that amount for a combined limit of $500,000. Joint accounts are insured separately. Your coverage limit does not affect the limit that applies to single-ownership accounts.
