Want to know if your
deposits are protected?
If you don’t see your financial institution on this list, please contact it to ensure your deposits are properly protected.
In the rare case of a financial institution failure, you won’t lose your deposits protected by the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation (CDIC) or the Autorité des marchés financiers (AMF). That’s reassuring!
You can rest assured that CDIC and the AMF protect your deposits in most financial institutions.
CDIC covers your insured deposits in federal institutions, like banks.
The AMF covers deposits made in Québec with provincial institutions, like credit unions.
