Not exactly taxpayer funded: https://www.fdic.gov/resources/deposit-insurance/deposit-ins...
> The DIF is funded mainly through quarterly assessments on insured banks. A bank's assessment is calculated by multiplying its assessment rate by its assessment base. A bank's assessment base and assessment rate are determined and paid each quarter.
