Member Institution Obligations

What membership means for licensed deposit-taking institutions in Kenya.

Mandatory Membership

All deposit-taking institutions licensed by the Central Bank of Kenya under the Banking Act or the Microfinance Act are required by law to be KDIC members.

Risk-Based Premiums

Member institutions pay annual premiums to the Deposit Insurance Fund (DIF) calculated on the basis of insurable deposits and a risk-based assessment framework.

Statutory Returns

Members are required to file periodic statutory returns to KDIC — including deposit data, premium declarations, and other regulatory submissions.

Depositor Protection

Membership entitles each institution's eligible depositors to KDIC insurance — up to KES 500,000 per depositor — at no direct cost to the depositor.
