The Philippine Deposit Insurance Corporation (PDIC) has rolled out the virtual pilot run of PDIC K.E.Y. (“Knowledge Foundations”, “Enhanced Governance”, and “Your Compliance Compass”) Training Programs for Banks on Deposit Operations on November 20, 2025.
The initial virtual roll out focused on Knowledge Foundations, which provided an overview of the PDIC and understanding its administrative issuances. Representing 34 banks, mostly rural banks, and 12 bank associations nationwide, a total of 90 bank managers, compliance officers, and operations personnel attended the program. Succeeding sessions of the K.E.Y. Training Programs are scheduled for the second and third quarters of 2026.
PDIC Vice President Niño Ray L. Villaluna (Examination Group) had previously announced the PDIC K.E.Y. Training Programs during the recent Rural Bankers Association of the Philippines (RBAP) Annual National Convention & General Membership Meeting held in Pasay City, where he explained that the program is a capability-building initiative to directly respond to requests from member banks engaged by the Corporation in the nationwide conduct of the PDIC-Bankers’ Dialogue series in the previous years.
Aligned with the Corporation’s 2025–2028 Strategy Map, PDIC K.E.Y. aims to contribute to financial stability and reinforce depositor protection by enhancing the operational integrity of banks. Designed to complement existing training programs for bankers, PDIC K.E.Y. gives particular emphasis on deposit operations, which is the main funding source of banks. These training programs will also help banks mitigate compliance risks, improve governance, and deepen their understanding of administrative issuances related to deposit operations. This approach seeks to strengthen institutional resilience and support the long-term stability of the banking system.
This initiative underscores the PDIC’s commitment to strengthen and advance depositor protection by enabling banks to reinforce proactive engagement and institutional collaboration with the PDIC.
The Philippine Deposit Insurance Corporation (PDIC) was established on 22 June 1963 by Republic Act 3591 to protect depositors and help maintain stability in the financial system.
The PDIC is an attached agency to the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas, and a member of the Financial Sector Forum, the Financial Stability Coordination Council, and the Financial Inclusion Steering Committee.
