PDIC Insurance

Your deposits with UNO Digital Bank are protected by the Philippine Deposit Insurance Corporation (PDIC) up to ₱500,000 per depositor.

What is PDIC?

The Philippine Deposit Insurance Corporation (PDIC) is a government instrumentality created in 1963 to protect depositors by providing deposit insurance coverage for all deposit accounts with banks.

PDIC is an attached agency of the Department of Finance and is the sole deposit insurer in the Philippines. It provides deposit insurance coverage for all types of deposits in banks, including savings, checking, and time deposits.

UNO Digital Bank is a member of PDIC, which means all your deposits with us are automatically covered by deposit insurance up to the maximum coverage limit.
