The DIC is obliged by law to insure depositors in all institutions licensed to operate under the Financial Institutions Act, 2008 (See member institutions)
Frequently Asked Questions
- What happens if a depositor expects to be paid an amount that is different from what the DIC pays?
- Is the insurance protection increased by placing funds in two or more types of deposit accounts in the same institution?
- 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 is a depositor notified of the date and place of payment of his or her claim after an institution is closed?
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.
