Proposed amendments in Deposit Insurance Act raised coverage limit to $50k

The increased coverage will raise the proportion of fully insured depositors from 83 per cent to 91 per cent.

According to the Deposit Insurance and Policy Owners' Protection Schemes Bill and the Insurance Bill in the first reading in Parliament, the coverage limit under the DI Scheme will be expanded from insuring only individuals and charities, to insuring all non-bank depositors. Examples of non-bank depositors are sole proprietorships, partnerships, unincorporated entities and companies.

This aims to mitigate potential cash flow problems of small business depositors in the event of a bank failure.

The separate coverate of CPF-related monies will also be raised from $20,000 to $50,000.

According to MAS, the insurance regulatory framework will be strengthened to allow MAS to immediately take action when dealing with a distressed insurer. This aims to preserve financial stability and protice policy owners.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
