Protection for Your Savings

πŸ›‘οΈ Deposit Protection Scheme

Credit Unions in Ghana are covered by the Deposit Protection Scheme (Stabilization Fund) which is administered by the CUA. This is a scheme that can provide compensation to depositors if the credit institution is forced to go out of business.

Currently, Credit Unions are required to reserve an average of about 0.02% of members' total savings.

With this, members can rest assured their savings and all interests earned are secured.

Savings Policies
