Locked funds insurance is more about insuring safety of funds that it is backing it with a guarantee of replacing it. Unlike most insurances, which have nothing to do with protecting, but rather to do with replacing, locked fund insurance is about keeping something safe from outside sources and keeping funds safe from unauthorized activities and tampering.  

Locked funds insurance is issued by both banks and governments together.  In most cases locked funds insurance is used to protect public funds.  This should come as no surprise as public funds are of large interest to both banks, governments and the people who support them.  It is most important that public funds are protected well, as opposed to insured.  There are, however, exceptions to the rule and locked funds insurance can be used on somewhat private funds, but great measures have to be taken before these funds can be covered by locked funds insurance.

The way locked funds insurance works is a little like a safety deposit box where someone can only access it under certain condition.  With a safety deposit box it can normally only be opened with a production of an assigned key, the bank's guard key, owners signature.  The only difference is that with locked funds insurance, the funds can be accessed when certain conditions are met by the intended recipient or authorized persons.

Locked Funds Security

Locked funds insurance provides an incredibly high level of security for funds and is normally used for large quantities of money.  Normal or high security is normally enough for most people and most funds, but in some cases locked fund insurance adds a needed bit of security.  Locked funds insurance is no easy thing to get though.  It is a lot of standard procedures and protocol, but it does protect against unauthorized tampering in most all cases.
