The Philippine Deposit Insurance Corp. has paid deposit insurance to 33,440 depositors of Banco Filipino Savings & Mortgage Bank through postal money order without the need for filing claims.

Payments amounted to almost P59 million for account balances of P5,000 and below with no outstanding loan and with complete addresses in the bank records.

Mailing of payments is done continuously and completion of payment for the accounts is expected by this month. Thereafter, PDIC shall start paying depositors with balances of over P5,000 up to P10,000 also without the need to file claims.

The expansion of the waiver of filing requirements to include accounts up to P10,000 was made recently, and will also apply to banks closed after March 17, 2011.

For accounts with balances above P10,000, and accounts with balances of P10,000 and below with outstanding loans and incomplete addresses in the bank records, PDIC will receive claims until May 13. Claim forms have been previously distributed in Depositors Forums conducted nationwide. Claim forms may also be downloaded from the PDIC website www.pdic.gov.ph

Details of the schedule for filing, which is based on alphabetical listing of depositors’ surnames, are posted at the PDIC website and in bank premises. Depositors are reminded to bring with them the complete requirements for filing claims as advised by PDIC representatives during the conduct of Depositors’ Forums.

PDIC targets to start payout for these accounts in July. PDIC claims processing is in two phases: the validation of the account based on available bank records, and the verification of the claim based on required documents and standard operating procedures for claims processing. PDIC reaffirms its commitment to pay deposit insurance for all valid deposits. (PR)
