Designed to work together, these reforms will empower the Barbados Deposit Insurance Corporation to swiftly liquidate failing institutions and ensure creditors and shareholders are paid fairly. A key highlight is that for the first time, credit unions — which have exploded in size from $400 million in 2007 to nearly $3 billion by 2025 — will receive the same state-backed insurance as banks, protecting the vast majority of members’ deposits up to $25,000. This move aims to boost public trust and secure the financial future of families, small businesses, and hundreds of thousands of credit union members.
