PDIC is a government instrumentality created in 1963 by virtue of Republic Act 3591 to insure the deposits of all banks. PDIC exists to protect depositors by providing deposit insurance coverage for the depositing public and help promote financial stability.

PDIC shall pay deposit insurance on all valid deposits up to the Maximum Deposit Insurance Coverage of Php500,000, per depositor, of a closed bank. Accounts maintained in the same right and capacity for a depositor's benefit, whether in his own name or in the name of others, are covered by deposit insurance.

PDIC provides a maximum deposit insurance coverage of PhP500,000 per depositor per bank. It covers all types of bank deposits in banks whether denominated in local or foreign currencies. All deposit accounts of a depositor in a closed bank maintained in the same right and capacity shall be added together.

Membership of banks to PDIC is mandatory; hence, all operating banks are members of PDIC.

PDIC covers only the risk of a bank closure ordered by the Monetary Board. Thus, bank losses due to theft, fire, closure by reason of strike or existence of public disorder, revolution or civil war, are not covered by PDIC.

The PDIC Charter excludes the following accounts or transactions from deposit insurance coverage: 1) investment products such as bonds and securities, and other similar instruments which do not fall under the definition of a deposit, 2) unfunded, fictitious, or fraudulent deposit accounts or transactions, and, 3) ...

Investment products such as bonds, securities and trust accounts; Deposit accounts which are unfunded, fictitious or fraudulent; Deposit products constituting or emanating from unsafe and unsound banking practices;

The term 'insured deposit' means the amount due to any bona fide depositor for legitimate deposits in an insured bank net of any obligation of the depositor to the insured bank as of date of closure, but not to exceed P500,000.00. A joint account shall be insured separately from any individually-owned deposit account.

The Philippine Deposit Insurance Corporation has three basic functions. First, they are the deposit insurer. Second, they act as co-regulator of banks. And third, they are the receiver and liquidator of closed banks.
