The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. is set to pay almost $23 billion to stabilize the banking sector. That money comes from an insurance fund that is refilled annually through fees paid by banks.

It also noted that big banks (who have been the biggest beneficiaries, as depositors have flocked to safer ground) might have to pay extra.
