What is the new Government deposit guarantee?

On 12 October 2008 the Prime Minister announced a new scheme to guarantee all deposits held in credits unions, building societies and banks in Australia.

The new scheme ensures that depositors with Australian credit unions, banks, and building societies will be guaranteed repayment of their funds in the extremely unlikely event that any banking institution faces stress.

There is no cap on the guarantee. However, from 28 November 2008, financial institutions will have to pay a fee to guarantee deposits in excess of $1 million. Guaranteeing deposits over $1 million is not compulsory.

The scheme is a response to the global economic conditions currently being experienced in global financial markets, and is an extra confidence measure for the already strong Australian banking system.
