The Department of Finance has announced that the Credit Institutions (Eligible Liabilities Guarantee) Scheme (the ‘ELG Scheme’) has been extended from its original end date of 29th September 2010 to 31st December 2010.
It's important to note that there are two deposit guarantee schemes in operation - the Deposit Guarantee Scheme, which covers all deposits up to €100,000 and does not have an end date and this ELG scheme which covers deposits in excess of €100,000 and has been extended to 31/12/2010.
It's also important to make sure you know if your own bank is part of either or both schemes. Not all banks operating in Ireland are part of both schemes and some are part of neither, as they participate in their own country's deposit guarantee scheme.
See the Department's press release here.
Feel free to talk to us about your deposits and their security. We are authorised to arrange deposit accounts and have attractive rates for demand, notice and fixed rate accounts for individuals, corporate customers, charities and pension funds.
