Advancing depositor protection through global collaboration


Since our establishment in 2002, IADI has made substantial progress in promoting the stability and effectiveness of deposit insurance systems globally. Today, we count over 100 participants, each contributing to our mission of safeguarding depositors and supporting financial stability.

Guided by our strategic framework, IADI promotes compliance with the IADI Core Principles as the global standard for deposit insurance systems, advances deposit insurance research and policy development, and provides technical assistance to our Members, alongside initiatives that strengthen implementation and impact. To deliver on these objectives, we implement a broad programme of work that is shaped by the needs and expectations of our membership. Through this collaborative effort, we continue to reinforce our status as a global standard‑setter in deposit insurance.

Membership in IADI offers a wealth of benefits. By joining our Association, you will have the opportunity to participate in the development of standards, guidance and assessment methodologies that enhance the effectiveness of deposit insurance systems. You will also be able to share expertise and information on deposit insurance and bank resolution issues through our comprehensive training and capacity‑building initiatives. In addition, our technical assistance workshops provide invaluable support to our Members as they establish and continuously improve their deposit insurance systems at the jurisdictional level.

If you are considering the establishment of a deposit insurance system in your jurisdiction, or seeking to improve existing depositor protection arrangements, we encourage you to consider joining IADI. As a Member, you will gain access to our exclusive “participants only” website, where you will find timely research and guidance papers, the Core Principles for Effective Deposit Insurance Systems, deposit insurance survey data, and a wealth of conferences, seminars and other capacity‑building opportunities. This repository of knowledge and resources will be instrumental in creating, operating, maintaining and improving your deposit insurance systems.

Together, let us continue to build a resilient and effective global deposit insurance framework that protects depositors and fosters financial stability.

Join us in our mission, and let us work hand in hand to achieve our shared goals.
