According to the CDIC Web site: “Some financial institutions that take deposits are NOT members of CDIC—for example, credit unions and caisses populaires, Canadian branches of foreign banks and some Canadian chartered banks. Your deposits with credit unions and caisses populaires may be covered by provincial deposit insurance programs. Canadian branches of foreign banks, and those Canadian chartered banks that are not CDIC members are required by law to inform you that they are not CDIC members and that your savings at such banks are not insured.”
So, are “Caisses populaires” are covered or not by the CDIC? My savings are with Desjardins, and I wonder if the money I have in my bank account is insured or not. I ask the question via email to Desjardins. I just hope to receive a response. If they response “NO”, I just don’t know what I am going to do.
In the list of institutions covered by the CDIC, I notice “Desjardins Trust Inc.”, but not “Caisses populaires Desjardins”.
Why does it have to be so complicate? :))))))))))))))))

hey! did you ever get an answer?
ReplyDeleteI don't remember. But I don't bank with Desjardins anymore. Their institution is not reliable enough. You shouldn't do any business with them. I guess you are aware of what happen, many thousands of Desjardins clients got their personal info in hand of one of their employee who actually gave away those info, including insurance numbers.
