ADIA Profile

The Albanian Deposit Insurance Agency (ADIA) was established in 2002 and carries out its activity based on law no. 53/2014, dated 22.05.2014 on “On Deposit Insurance”, as amended.

ASD administers the deposit insurance scheme. The agency secures deposits in banks and non-profit organizations in the territory of the Republic of Albania, which are the member subjects of the scheme. Their membership in the scheme is compulsory. ASD is a “paybox plus” model. The law “On deposit insurance”, as amended, also allows the Agency to participate by transferring financial means, of the compensation fund, during the extraordinary intervention in banks, in accordance with the provisions of the law “On recovery and extraordinary intervention in bank in the Republic of Albania”. ADIA insures deposits in each Bank up to a maximum of ALL 2.5 million per depositor per Bank. For SCA’s, the limit is a maximum of ALL 2 million per depositor, per SCA.

Any depositor who is a member of a bank or SCA is a beneficiary of the insurance scheme and deposit.

Foreign currency deposits are insured up to the same amount. In case of an insurance event, foreign currency deposits are converted to ALL, at the exchange rate on the day of the intervention by the Supervisory Authority (Bank of Albania). The compensation process duration is 3 months from the date of intervention by Bank of Albania on an insured subject.
The initial financing of the deposit insurance scheme was derived by the state budget.

The deposit insurance premium is calculated by the member entities and paid on a quarterly basis to the Agency’s Bank of Albania account.
ADIA is the administrator of Resolution Fund (RF). The Agency administers RF in accordance with the Financial Assets Management Policy approved by the Bank of Albania, which is the Resolution Authority.
