On 19 March 2026, our team from the Bulawayo Office had the privilege of engaging with students and staff at Gwanda State University during a public lecture focused on deposit protection.
The session welcomed over 100 participants, all eager to understand what deposit protection means and why it matters in everyday banking. It was inspiring to witness such curiosity, with attendees asking thoughtful questions about compensation timelines, coverage limits, and how the system operates during bank closures.
A key insight from the session was that while many had noticed Deposit Protection Corporation (DPC) signage in banks, they did not fully grasp its significance. This highlights the ongoing need for public awareness campaigns to ensure everyone understands the safety nets in place for their deposits.
Beyond the lecture, we explored opportunities to partner with the university, aiming to continue promoting financial literacy and deposit protection knowledge among young people. These conversations are a reminder that education is a vital tool in building confidence and trust in the banking sector.
At DPC, we remain committed to simplifying financial concepts and ensuring that every individual has the knowledge to make informed banking decisions. Engaging directly with students and the wider community strengthens our mission to protect depositors and promote financial literacy across Zimbabwe.
