Abstract
This paper seeks to analyse the depositor protection and deposit insurance schemes put in place by the Swiss regulators. The impact of the Euro Debt crisis and the handling of the same by the Swiss banks are also analysed.During the Great Depression, panicky Americans converted deposits into currency and thousands of banks that could not meet withdrawal demands were forced to close. When the banks closed, depositors ended up losing all of their savings. Consequently, President Franklin Roosevelt signed the Banking Act of 1933, which created the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). This independent U.S. government agency protects depositors against losses and prevents runs on FDIC-insured banks or savings association banks. Discover what types of deposits the FDIC covers and how to make sure that you are getting the highest level of insurance for your money.
