The Deposit Insurance Scheme (DIS) is a regulatory initiative commissioned by the South African Reserve Bank and led by the Corporation for Deposit Insurance (CoDI). It aims to provide financial stability within the South African banking sector by protecting depositors in the event of a bank failure. This financial stability will be achieved through a combination of strong regulation and supervision, crisis management tools and an effective resolution framework.
Essentially, the role of a DIS is to ensure that the cost of a potential bank failure does disproportionately impact the bank’s most vulnerable consumers by ensuring bank deposits are repaid up to a limit of R100 000. This supports financial stability by helping to reduce the probability of liquidity squeezes and contagion impacts that could result from a reluctance to place deposits at a bank or from disruptive bank runs.

This includes the analysis of all regulatory documentation from the Reserve Bank, the creation of a strategic implementation framework to facilitate the analysis and identification of all relevant systems within the bank, the finally, the creation and implementation of the Depositors Insurance Scheme solution engine, Reference Data Management solution and the DIS KPI Dashboard.
