The Philippine Deposit Insurance Corporation (PDIC) announced that
depositors of the closed Rural Bank of Luna (Apayao), Inc. who have not filed
their claims for deposit insurance may do so at the PDIC Public Assistance
Center, 3rd Floor, SSS Bldg., 6782 Ayala Avenue corner V.A. Rufino Street,
Makati City until August 17, 2020. Claims may also be filed by mail.
When filing deposit insurance claims at the PDIC Public Assistance Center,
depositors are required to submit directly to PDIC their original evidence of
deposit and present one (1) valid photo-bearing ID with signature of the
depositor. It is recommended, however, to bring at least two (2) valid IDs in
case of discrepancies in signature. Depositors may also file their claims
through mail and enclose their original evidence of deposit and photocopy of
one (1) valid photo-bearing ID with signature together with a duly accomplished
and notarized Claim Form which can be downloaded from the PDIC website, www.pdic.gov.ph. PDIC reminds depositors to deal only with PDIC
authorized officers.
Depositors who are below 18 years old should submit either a photocopy of
their Birth Certificate issued by the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) or
a duly certified copy issued by the Local Civil Registrar as an additional requirement,
with the Claim Form signed by the parent. Claimants who are not the signatories
in the bank records are required to submit an original copy of a notarized
Special Power of Attorney. In the case
of a minor depositor, the Special Power of Attorney must be executed by the
parent. The format of the Special Power of Attorney may be downloaded from the
PDIC website.
In addition, all depositors who have outstanding loans or payables to the
bank have to coordinate with the duly authorized PDIC Loans Officer prior to
the settlement of their deposit insurance claim.
The procedures and requirements for filing deposit insurance claims are
likewise posted in the PDIC website.
PDIC, as deposit insurer, requires personal data from depositors to be able
to process their claims and protects these data in compliance with the Data
Privacy Act of 2012.
