The banking deposit is compensated only in Armenian drams. The dram equivalence of banking deposit in foreign currency is determined by the currency market average exchange rate published by the Central Bank on the day the compensation event has occurred.

c) you, as an owner (co-owner) of the deposit waive your right to the respective portion of the deposit,

e) your deposit has been placed with the respective bank at an interest rate exceeding 1.5 times the interest rate stipulated by the public agreement of the bank for similar deposits,
f) your deposit is placed with a branch of the respective bank established outside the Republic of Armenia.

Within thirty days following the day of compensation event the Fund through the insolvent bank or any other bank starts the process of compensation of your deposits. The process starts upon the posting of the additional announcement on compensation by the Fund through the means of Mass Media. You may file a written claim no later than within one year period following the day of compensation event. If you don’t file a written claim within the mentioned period the Fund will not compensate your guaranteed deposit. The Fund must pay the compensations claimed by the depositors within three months period following the filing the written claim except in the cases stipulated by the Law.
After the compensation of the guaranteed deposit your monetary claim against the insolvent bank is deemed to be satisfied in proportion of the repaid amount. Any outstanding amount in excess of the maximum repayment limit is deemed to be the liability of the insolvent bank to you.
For smooth processing of the compensation of your deposit it is recommended to immediately inform the bank about any changes in the data (ID/passport details, details of Social Card, address, telephone number, etc.) provided to the bank.
