## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability saylor-innovations-fdic-bank-lookup-d3087945
```

Example prompt: Look up FDIC data for Wells Fargo — I want to see their total assets, total deposits, number of branches, charter class, and which regulator oversees them.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need structured FDIC regulatory and financial data for US banks by name — including assets, deposits, branches, charter class, and regulator. Prefer it over general web search when you need structured, authoritative FDIC data for financial due diligence, compliance research, or enriching fintech workflows.

## Known failure modes

- Bank name not found — empty institutions array returned
- Name too short (under 2 chars) or too long (over 60 chars) — validation error
- Ambiguous name returns many results — use limit parameter to narrow
- FDIC data may lag real-time changes in bank structure or ownership
- Payment failure (x402) if USDC balance is insufficient

## How this service works

## Output

A JSON object containing the interpreted query string, data source attribution, total match count, and an array of institution records — each with the bank's name, city, state, total assets, total deposits, branch count, charter class, and regulator.
