Not All Deposits Are Insurable Insurable deposits include • Savings and chequing accounts • Term deposits with a maturity date < 5 years • Money orders and drafts, certified drafts and cheques, and traveller’s cheques The CDIC does not insure • Term deposits with an initial maturity date > 5 years • T-bills, bonds and debentures issued by governments and corporations (including the chartered banks) • Investments in stocks, mutual funds, and mortgages. © 2005 Pearson Education Canada Inc.

Opting-Out By-Law • Permits Schedule III banks, that accept primarily wholesale deposits (defined as $150 000 or more), to opt out of CDIC membership and therefore to operate without deposit insurance • It requires, however, an opted-out bank to inform all depositors, by posting notices in its branches, that their deposits will not be protected by the CDIC, and not to charge any early withdrawal penalties for depositors who choose to withdraw Implications: • Minimizes CDIC exposure to uninsured deposits • By compensating only the insured depositors rather than all depositors, this legislation increases the incentives of uninsured depositors to monitor the risk-taking activities of banks, thereby reducing moral hazard risk
