Frequently Asked Questions
- If a depositor has an account in the main office of an institution and also at a branch office, are these accounts separately insured?

- How does the closing of an institution affect interest accruing on a deposit?
- Who should file a claim if more than one person is authorised to draw on an account?
Did You Know?
- Misconception: Placing funds in any instrument offered by a member institution would be covered by the DIC - Fact: ONLY Savings Accounts (including interest), Current Accounts (including interest) and Fixed Deposit Accounts (including interest), inclusive of any outstanding balances due (uncleared deposits) to these accounts, are considered for deposit insurance coverage.
