Protecting your money

The Depositor Compensation Scheme (DCS) will protect depositors up to $100,000 if your deposit taker fails. Coverage is automatic from 1 July 2025, if your money is in a DCS-protected account. This includes existing deposits.

Why is the DCS important?

The DCS gives depositors confidence that their money is protected, adding to the stability of New Zealand’s financial system.

Many other parts of the world offer similar protection to depositors.
