Yes, Rabobank is covered by the Australian Government Guarantee through the Government’s Financial Claims Scheme (FCS). This scheme provides protection and quick access to deposits in banks, building societies and credit unions in the unlikely event that one of these financial institutions fails.
Under the FCS, certain deposits are protected up to a limit of $250,000 for each account holder at any bank, building society, credit union or other authorised deposit-taking institution (ADI) that is incorporated in Australia and authorised by the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA).
The FCS can only come into effect if it is activated by the Australian Government when an institution fails.
Once activated, the FCS will be administered by the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA)
