Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation

Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation The CDIC was established by the Government of Canada to protect deposits in case of bank failure. Protecting your deposits, that's what we do.

Coverage is free and automatic when you bank with a member institution. CDIC is a federal Crown corporation, established in 1967. We protect people’s money and contribute to financial stability by safeguarding over $1 trillion in eligible deposits at more than 80 member financial institutions. As a resolution authority, we are responsible for handling the failure of any of our members, from the sm

allest to the largest. Our members include banks, federally regulated credit unions, as well as trust and loan companies. We are funded by premiums paid by member financial institutions and do not receive public funds to operate. We have resolved 43 member failures to date, affecting some two million people in Canada. No one has ever lost any money under CDIC protection.
