The deposit insurance system (CER) is a methodprotection of customers' bank deposits. This is a special program implemented by the state. In case of occurrence of an insurance risk event (for example, bankruptcy), the Deposit Insurance Agency (DIA) will, in the shortest possible time, reimburse depositors for all the amount they have previously contributed, and it also creates a list of banks that are part of the deposit insurance system.
Principle of work of the Russian state CERs
The functioning of this structure is carried out in accordance with Federal Law No. 77-FZ of December 23, 2003.

Which banks are included in the mandatorydeposit insurance in the Russian Federation? The answer is one: all banks participate exclusively. No single bank will be able to obtain an appropriate license if it is not a CER participant. As a system for protecting civil bank deposits in Russia since 2003, there is a system of insurance of cash deposits (SSDV). The purpose of this system is to recover civil deposits from a certain financial source if there has been a termination of the activities of any financial institution that is on the list of banks participating in the mandatory deposit insurance system. We need some additional financial source - a reserve insurance fund. It was formed with the insurance agency. The basis of replenishment of the fund (one of some) is served by the banks of the Russian Federation, who wish to work with a civilian.
Insurance deposits
Insurance is subject to deposits that are fulfilledin any currency. If an insured event occurs, the depositor will be refunded the entire amount, but not exceeding 1.4 million rubles. The basis for insurance is the agreement, which is concluded by the parties to open an account in the name of the banking client.
List of banks participating in the mandatory deposit insurance system
Any banking structure that hasrelationship with natural persons on the basis of a license, is included in the register of the Agency. And in the reverse order - any bank from the said register has a license to conduct transactions with natural persons. If he is not included in the list of banks included in the deposit insurance system, then he has no opportunity to conduct the corresponding operations.
• License cancellation and termination.
• Central Bank imposing a moratorium on the bank in accordance with the requirements of creditors.
At present, the banks participating in the mandatory deposit insurance system for individuals make up a list that includes more than 1,000 institutions.
First of all, these are all the major and well-known institutions of modern Russian banking, including:
• Sberbank;
• Gazprombank;
• "Alfa Bank";
• Rosselkhozbank;
• Raiffeisenbank and others.
In addition, the insurance of deposits is supported by little-known institutions: "Plus Bank", "LOKO-Bank", "CEDAR", etc.
To find out the list of participating banksobligatory deposit insurance (there are more than 800 of them), it is enough to apply to the Agency. The official website of this organization provides all the necessary information. He also will provide information about banks that have lost the right to conduct operations to invest money on the account of individuals or to insure the money of citizens.
Objectives and mechanism of the Foundation
This financial structure was created as a basisfunctioning mechanism of insurance of civil money deposits. The main and probably its only task is to return the entire depositary amount to civilians who are clients who have suffered from the termination of the bank's functioning due to any life reasons. The Fund in the full sense is formed from financial contributions made by the banks participating in the mandatory deposit insurance system, and from the return on investment of own funds.
Main methods of fund replenishment
1. The state replenishing the fund with a certain amount through the Central Bank of Russia. At present, this amount is 7.9 billion rubles.
2. Banks participating in the mandatory deposit insurance system for individuals.
3.Income from investment of stock financial assets in securities of the largest organizations in deposits of the Bank of Russia. Investments are carried out exclusively with observance of requirements of the law of federal value about the organizations of noncommercial form of activity.
The main stock characteristic is itsindependence from any state structures and banks. This confirms that its funds can not be used for other operations, except as payment of insurance on deposits. An important distinctive feature of this structure is that its funds do not include foreclosures for liabilities of financial organizations credited to the list of banks included in the deposit insurance system and contributors.
Features of foreign currency deposits
Deposits of Russians in banks in any foreign currencynecessarily subject to insurance. However, it is necessary to know that in the event of an insured event, the amount is refunded in the ruble version. Accordingly, an allocation is made in accordance with the exchange rate of the Central Bank for the currency that was invested at the time when the insurance situation arose. The amount of insurance compensation is also one hundred percent of the total deposit amount, but not exceeding 1.4 million rubles. Interest rates of foreign currency deposits are also taken into account when returning. The procedure for the return of foreign currency deposits is similar to ruble deposits.
