Yes, the FDIC insures all FDIC member lending institutions, and the FSLIC was very poorly run.

While the FDIC provides some guidance, the lender oversight is provided by either:

the Federal Reserve and Office of the Comptroller of the Currency;

or the less stringent Office of Thrift Supervision.

This is why Countrywide Bank changed regulators. The OTS requires lower levels of capital reserves.

In either case the FDIC provides the insurance.
