When a bank fails, confidence is the first casualty, and depositors who fear for their savings can turn a single failure into a wider crisis. A credible deposit insurance scheme, backed by sound supervision and resolution, is among the strongest defences. Over five days, participants examine how schemes are mandated, governed and operated. Sessions cover coverage limits and eligible deposits, membership, funding models, risk-based premium assessment, target fund size, investment policy and liquidity back-up arrangements.
You then study the operational side: data requirements, single customer view files, payout planning, reimbursement timelines, depositor communication and public awareness. Further sessions place deposit insurance within the financial safety net, linking it with prudential supervision, early intervention, bank resolution tools, bail-in, purchase and assumption transactions, lender of last resort and macroprudential policy. Staff of deposit insurers, central banks and supervisors, finance ministry officials, bank compliance and risk officers, auditors and development partners will find the content useful. Delivery is classroom, online or in-house, with a CPD-accredited certificate. Afterwards you can evaluate a scheme against international core principles and draft a payout readiness plan.
Financial stability depends on the public believing that money placed in a bank is safe. Many countries in Africa have established or are strengthening deposit insurance schemes, often alongside new resolution laws and bank capital rules. Those responsible face practical questions: what to cover, how much to charge banks, how to invest a fund, and how to pay depositors quickly and accurately when a failure occurs.
The programme begins with the economics of bank runs and moral hazard, then reviews the core principles for effective deposit insurance systems published by international standard setters. Participants compare scheme designs and learn how mandate, governance and legal protection shape performance. The central sessions follow the life of a failure, from monitoring and early warning to the decision to intervene, selection of a resolution strategy and, where necessary, reimbursement of depositors.
Participants work through simulated cases with sample bank data, premium calculations and payout timelines. They also practise drafting public messages that calm depositors without raising false expectations. The course ends with a design review in which each participant assesses a scheme of their choice and identifies priority reforms.
By the end of the course, participants will be able to:
