About the Hong Kong Deposit Protection Board

Introduction

The Hong Kong Deposit Protection Board (the Board) is a statutory body established according to the Deposit Protection Scheme Ordinance (the Ordinance) to administer the Deposit Protection Scheme (DPS) which provides a measure of protection to depositors and contributes to the stability of the banking system in Hong Kong. The current protection limit of the DPS for each depositor is HK$800,000 per bank.

For further information about the DPS, please visit our official website (www.dps.org.hk).

Performance of functions through the Monetary Authority

Pursuant to section 6 of the Ordinance, the Board shall perform its functions through the Monetary Authority (MA) unless otherwise approved by the Financial Secretary. This means that the MA will act as an executive arm of the Board in administering the DPS. Currently, an Executive Director of the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) is designated as the Chief Executive Officer of the Board. The HKMA also supports the Board on aspects such as accounting, administration, human resources and information technology.
