Information About

Federal Savings And Loan Insurance Corporation




The FSLIC was created as part of the National Housing Act Of 1934 in order to insure deposits in savings and loans, a year after the FDIC was created to insure deposits in commercial banks. It was administered by the Federal Home Loan Bank Board (FHLBB).

In the 1980s, during the Savings And Loan Crisis , the FSLIC became insolvent. It was recapitalized with taxpayer money several times, including with $15 billion in 1986 and $10.75 billion in 1987. However, by 1989 it was deemed too insolvent to save and was abolished along with the FHLBB; savings and loan deposit insurance responsibility was transferred to the FDIC.
