Deposit Compensation Scheme
11
•The NBDT sector is to be included in the scheme
•The final levies are not yet known.
•The scheme should make Investors more confident when making investment allocations.
•There will be a ripple effect, investors will move funds out of Banks to other Banks and also to other
entities.
•Investors will move funds out of other entities to similar entities (e.g.NBS to General Finance and vice
versa)
•It is likely New NBDT’s will seek registration
Major unknowns
•What will the cost to entities be?
•What will the interest reduction be?
•How manyinvestors will change their current investment policies.
Market Regulation
12
•Costs of regulation increasing e.g. DTA, DCS, CoFIfor fully regulated
financial institutions
•Significant differences in level of regulation between entities offering
similar looking products to that of NBDT’s which offer attractive yields
and are aggressively sold e.g. wholesale lenders, wholesale deposits
takers, Unit Trusts, “Private”Offerings, Placements andPeer to Peer.
•Many of these entities are poorly understood, do not have credit
ratings, have low profile Directors, poor disclosure documents, focus
mainly on return, have little or no equity and are relatively new.
Proud to be participant in the Financial
Institution Performance Survey for 2023.

“Of the nine survey participants who achieved an increase in
NPAT, the largest percentage growth was seen by General
Finance Limited (General Finance), with a positive
