PDIC, DICT team up for smarter digital services
The Philippine Deposit Insurance Corporation formalized its first partnership with the Department of Information and Communications Technology on July 1, 2026, during PDIC’s 63rd anniversary celebration at the PDIC Chino Building in Makati City.
The partnership supports the national government’s information and communications technology development agenda.
Under the memorandum of understanding, the DICT will provide technical expertise and help assess PDIC’s existing applications and systems.
The DICT will also recommend improvements to the corporation’s digital infrastructure.
The partnership seeks to improve interoperability, synchronization and integration between the agencies’ systems and applications.
The collaboration will also align PDIC’s digital channels with national government ICT standards and frameworks.
PDIC plans to make its services available through the eGovPH app, potentially expanding the corporation’s digital reach to nearly 60 million registered users.
The integration is expected to make PDIC services more efficient, accessible and convenient.
The eGovPH Super App serves as a virtual one-stop shop that combines services from national and local government agencies, according to the Presidential Communications Office.
The partnership also aims to reinforce PDIC’s cybersecurity measures.
It will support the development of additional applications and systems that could benefit the corporation’s operations.
“Through these efforts, we are not simply adopting technology but strengthening how we deliver our mandate,” PDIC President and CEO Roberto B. Tan said.
DICT Undersecretary David L. Almirol Jr. expressed support for the partnership.
“I’m proud to reaffirm the DICT’s unconditional support to the PDIC family. Our shared vision is clear: to build a synchronized, efficient, citizen-centered government.”
PDIC said the partnership supports its continuing adoption of digital technologies to protect depositors, improve operational efficiency and respond to stakeholders’ changing needs.
PDIC was established on June 22, 1963, under Republic Act 3591 to insure bank deposits and help promote financial stability.
The government instrumentality is attached to the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas, according to PDIC’s official institutional profile.
The maximum deposit insurance coverage has been PHP 1 million per depositor per bank since March 15, 2025, according to PDIC.
