A

sheesh

79
Q

Deposit records are subjected to an examination prior to the start of servicing/settlement of claims. Claims are evaluated and processed according to PDIC’s standard procedures.

A

weh

80
Q

If the deposit account in a closed bank is more than P500,000.00, what happens to the excess of the maximum amount of insured deposit?

If the closed bank is not rehabilitated or taken over by another bank, amount in excess of the P500,000 coverage can still be claimed upon the final liquidation of the remaining assets of the closed bank. The claim may be filed with the Liquidator of the closed bank but payment of the said claim will depend on the bank’s available assets to settle its preferred claims (Government taxes, labor claims, secured credits and trust funds) and approval of the Liquidation Court.

wow
