21. The Deposit Protection Act B.E. 2551 (DPA Act) was passed in 2008, establishing the
DPA supervised by the MOF. The DPA
acts as a paybox-plus
3
and has three primary objectives as
stated in the deposit protection law: (i) to provide protection for deposits in financial institutions;
(ii) to enhance confidence and stability in the financial institution system; and (iii) to manage
financial institutions subject to control under the FIBA and liquidate financial institutions whose
licenses have been revoked. Membership under the DPA scheme is compulsory for all financial
institutions, comprising commercial banks (both local and foreign), finance companies, and credit
foncier companies; currently, there are 35-member institutions. The maximum annual premium rate
that members remit to the Deposit Protection Fund cannot exceed 1 percent of the
average value of
eligible deposits at the insured
institution; at present, the annual premium rate is 0.01 percent. As of
the end of 2017, the size of the Deposit Protection Fund was THB 120.03 billion. This represents
around 3 percent of insured deposits.
