Frequently Asked Questions

Where does the data come from?

FDIC BankFind — the authoritative public registry of every FDIC-insured depository institution, refreshed weekly. Includes national banks, state-chartered banks, savings institutions, and insured branches of foreign banks. Also includes the FDIC failures, structure-change history, locations, and industry-summary datasets.

What's the difference between strict and fuzzy holding-company search?

Strict mode (default) requires every significant token in your query to appear in the normalized ``holding_company_search`` column — high-precision. Fuzzy mode uses trigram word similarity on the raw ``holding_company`` column with a score floor — high-recall. Strict supports cursor pagination; fuzzy supports offset pagination.

How fresh is the data?

Refreshed weekly from the FDIC bulk CSV. The exact ``dataset.last_refreshed_at`` is returned on every search response so you always know how stale the result set is.

Are inactive and failed banks included?

Yes. The dataset covers ~4,000 currently active and ~27,000 historical institutions, so you can trace mergers, name changes, and failures back through the full FDIC history.
