What to check in Kentucky
- 1Confirm the deposit insurance. FDIC cover is $250,000 per depositor, per bank, per ownership category — not per account.
- 2Check what the branch actually does. Many locations no longer handle cash, notarisation or safe deposit boxes.
- 3Compare the savings APY with the national benchmark before opening anything. Branch convenience is worth something, but rarely two percentage points.
- 4Ask about the monthly maintenance fee and the exact conditions that waive it.

Frequently asked questions
How many banks are near me?
Each state and city page on this site shows the real number of FDIC-insured branches on record in that area, with the source file and its date.
Is my money safe at a small local bank?
Deposits are insured to the same $250,000 limit at a community bank as at the largest national bank, provided the institution is FDIC insured. Size does not change the cover.
Methodology
Locations come from the federal institution files: the FDIC office file for banks and the NCUA call report for credit unions. Nothing here is scraped from a map product.
Cities with fewer than three locations on record are not published, because a page listing one address is not a useful comparison.
Density per 100,000 residents crosses the location count with Census population for the state.
