What Is the Deposit Insurance System (DIS)?

The Deposit Insurance System (DIS) is a system established by the Government to protect depositors against the loss of their insured deposits placed with member institutions in the event of a member institution failure. Commercial and Islamic banks that are member institutions of PIDM are also referred to as ‘member banks’.

As an integral component of an effective financial safety net, a deposit insurance system enhances consumer protection by providing explicit protection to depositors. Depositors will know when, how much and how their deposits are insured in the event that a member bank is bankrupt or is no longer viable.

In Malaysia, the Deposit Insurance System was brought into effect in September 2005 and is administered by PIDM.

Benefits to depositors

  • PIDM protects your bank deposits and will promptly reimburse you on your insured deposits should a member bank fail
  • The protection is provided by PIDM automatically - no application is required
 

Benefits to the financial system

  • PIDM promotes public confidence in Malaysia’s financial system by protecting depositors against the loss of their deposits
  • PIDM reinforces and complements the existing regulatory and supervisory framework by providing incentives for sound risk management in the financial system
  • PIDM minimises costs to the financial system by finding least cost solutions to resolve failing member institutions
  • PIDM contributes to the stability of the financial system by dealing with member institution failures expeditiously and reimbursing depositors as soon as possible
