Since the establishment of the Deposit Insurance Agency of Bosnia and Herzegovina, there have been two “insurance events” and two reimbursements of insured deposits of Bobar banka a.d. Bijeljina and Banka Srpske a.d. Banja Luka.
Procedure for insured deposits payout with Bobar banka a.d. Bijeljina started on January 19, 2015 in the total amount of BAM 86.6 million with 21,400 depositors. As of June 28, 2016 the total BAM 85.4 million or 98.4% of the value of insured deposits and 14,500 depositors or 68% of the number of depositors were paid.
In the case of Banka Srpske a.d. Banja Luka payout started on May 23, 2016. Total potential liability amounted to BAM 55.5 million and 14,200 depositors. As of June 28, 2016, a total of BAM 49 million, i.e. 88% of the value of insured deposits and 8100 depositors, ie 56% of the number of depositors.
The total liability of DIA in both banks amounts to BAM 142.1 million, and BAM 134.4 million is reimbursed.
In the period since the beginning of the liquidation process, the Agency has collected BAM 67 million in the case of Bobar bank, i.e. BAM 28 million in the case of Banka Srpska from the liquidation procedure with a very probable chance that the remaining part will be collected in full after the end of the court disputes. This indicates that of the total liability of BAM 142 million, DIA has already recovered BAM 95 million.
Banja Luka, June 29, 2016
Operating license was revoked from Banka Srpske on 11 May 2016 since when the legal deadline starts to run for DIA to reimburse insured deposits. In a short time, on the eight day of revocation of Bank’s operating license, i.e. on 23 May 2016 the DIA started with insured deposits payout.
In accordance with the Law on Deposit Insurance reimbursed are deposits up to BAM 50 thousand. Total insured deposits with Banka Srpske amount to BAM 55.4 million, and total number of depositors is around 14 thousand.
UniCredit Bank a.d. Banja Luka, being an Agent Bank, shall reimburse insured deposits and the payout is performed very quickly and within anticipated pace. Although the DIA is obligated to payout insured deposits within 60 day from the day of Bank’s license withdrawal, this work has been done in a significant part for 8 working days (including also Saturday) since so far BAM 41.9 million or 76% of insured deposits has been reimbursed, respectively 6 874 depositors or 48% of no of insured depositors. Depositors may claim their insured deposits within period of 5 year from the day of revocation of Bank’s license.
The DIA notifies the public that reimbursement of insured deposits with two failed banks has shown that Deposit Insurance Fund completely performs its task for which it was established, which is to protect insured deposits and by doing so contribute to the financial stability. It often can be heard unfounded statements relating to the strength of the Deposit Insurance Fund and its capacity to perform its tasks also in the future. Such statements send a negative message and can result in unnecessary bank run. In order to make truthful information to insured depositor and general public in BiH, the DIA reports it has protected insured bank deposits in the previous period very effectively and will remain to do so in the future.
