Industry engagement

How we are engaging with the industry
Continuous engagement with the deposit-taking industry helps us understand their businesses and customers so that we develop workable regulations and standards to give effect to the legislation.
Deposit takers will have regular opportunities to have input into our policy thinking. In between our formal consultations, we want to continue engaging in all aspects of our policy and operations through various engagements and channels. You can also email us at [email protected].
Industry workshops
We host industry workshops to engage with industry on the policy proposals we are consulting on. View the presentation material in the links below.
We hosted an online webinar to engage industry on our proposals for a Depositor Compensation Scheme (DCS) payout solution. This presentation shares our current thinking on two payout solutions that we would like to see implemented by mid-2025. It includes the end-to-end process for eligible depositors to claim their compensation.
