The maximum amount you can put in a bank varies widely based on the bank's own policies, the type of account, and regulatory limits. Generally, for personal savings accounts, there's typically no upper limit to how much you can deposit. However, it's important to ensure that your deposits over $250,000 are FDIC insured, either by spreading funds across accounts or institutions, as this is the maximum insured limit per depositor, per FDIC-insured bank, per ownership category.
