				| In Canada, most accounts at most banks are insured through a Crown corporation controlled by the Canadian government.  The idea being, that if a bank fails, you will be reimbursed up to $100,000 to cover your loss (it's more complicated than that, but that's the gist of it as I understand it.) Does anyone know if a similar system exists in South Korea, and if so, which banks/types of accounts are covered, and up to how much per account?
 
 Thanks
