Whether they know it or not, virtually every American adult who uses the modern financial system has the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation to thank for the stability and security they enjoy. Through its efforts to insure bank deposits, FDIC makes a difference for everyone in America. Now, it’s time for FDIC personnel to think about a different kind of insurance: Life insurance.
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation employees understand insurance, and life insurance can give you peace of mind like nothing else. With WAEPA, you’ll know your loved ones are taken care of in the event you pass away in a covered event at home or abroad.
Since back in World War II, WAEPA has been delivering the most trusted and respected life insurance for Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation employees. Federal service can take you places, so your benefits are accessible quickly, easily, and all around the world.
Throughout our history, we’ve provided insurance access to more than 100,000 federal workers and their dependents. Our current membership stands at more than 46,000 – and employees of the FDIC are eligible to enjoy all that we have to offer.
