What is Pass-Through Deposit Insurance (PTDI)?

The NDIC provides deposit insurance coverage to subscribers of Mobile Money Operators (MMOs) using the Pass-Through-Deposit-Insurance Concept. It is an arrangement where the deposit insurer extends deposit insurance coverage to Pool Accounts or Trust Accounts domiciled in deposit-taking financial institutions and operated by MMOs. Pool Accounts and Trust accounts have many contributors to the funds. The balances of each contributor in that Pool Account are insured.
