Is the insurance protection increased by placing funds in two or more types of deposit accounts in the same institution?

No. Deposit insurance is not increased merely by dividing funds held in the same right and capacity or ownership category (Single, Joint, Irrevocable Express Trust Accounts) among the different types of deposits available.

For example, chequing and savings accounts held by the same depositor in the same right and capacity or ownership category are added together and insured up to a maximum of TT$200,000.
