You're simply wrong. Stop spreading FuD.
The EU sets requirements that insured deposits must be accessible for depositors within a specified time frame. Under EU rules, payout deadlines must be gradually reduced from 20 working days presently, to 7 working days as of January 1, 2024. The insured amount is currently €100,000.
In the USA, no depositor has ever lost a penny of insured deposits since the FDIC was created in 1933.
Many countries have deposit insurance schemes. Look it up man!
That means nothing. What's insured is indeed any account under 100k€, but it's insured by a fund having around 0.8% of the bank funds and only in 2024 not right now!
"The Deposit Insurance Fund would be equivalent to 0.8% of the covered deposits of all banks in the Banking Union by 2024."

This is no FUD man, if one small bank sinks no problem normally, the money should be found. But you gotta have only one and not too big.
So it's sUpErFuD? What are we talking about then, full scale global economic collapse or just the collapse of the European Union?
This is deposit insurance. The failed bank will be taken over and it's assets liquidated. What insurance scheme anywhere has to fund 100% of ALL potential liabilities? None; nowhere and neither is it necessary.
NB. I'm not an actuary but I slept at a Holiday Inn Express last month.
Lol! There is a difference in saying it's 100% insured (which is hard I agree) and say that it's 0.8% insured!!!
I don't really call that insurance! Would you say your house is correctly insured if I promise you to repay you 0.8% of its value if it burns down?
I don't really see the FUD here...
It IS 100% insured up to 100,000 euros payable in 20 days. The 0.8% is the amount the insurer must have on-hand in reserve.
Your scenario would have every house insured by my insurer burn down on the same day. The only way that's going to happen is some sort of cosmic event or "act of god" - in this case, my insurance policy would be nullified as it doesn't cover era-ending asteroids or world war.
And how will they get the 99.2% in 20 days please? --'
