According to Chairman Pham Bao Lam, DIV was established on November 9, 1999, under Decision No. 218/1999/QD-TTg by the Prime Minister. Over the past 25 years of development, under the close guidance of the State Bank of Vietnam (SBV) and with a spirit of solidarity, determination, proactivity, and creativity, DIV has consistently fulfilled its assigned tasks, implementing deposit insurance policy to protect the legitimate rights and interests of depositors, contributing to the stability of the credit institution system, and ensuring the safe and healthy development of banking activities.
Looking back at history, from the early days of its establishment, DIV has worked hard not only to build policy, organizational structures, and initial facilities but also to begin compensating depositors for failed people's credit funds immediately. This shows the role of the deposit insurance organization and strengthens depositors' trust, which contributes to maintaining social order and safety at the local level.
Recognizing the importance of a legal framework for implementing deposit insurance policies, the DIV has always actively advised the SBV on completing legal documents related to deposit insurance operations. Since Decree No.89/1999/ND-CP, which laid the first legal foundation for deposit insurance policy in Vietnam, the Law on Deposit Insurance 2012 has been enacted, providing the highest legal basis for deposit insurance operations in Vietnam.
Through activities related to the life cycle of a credit institution, such as offsite supervision, examination on the compliance with deposit insurance regulations, and in-depth examination as directed by the State Bank of Vietnam (SBV), sending staff to participate in special control boards and management at weak people's credit funds; reimbursement to depositors, and enhancing public awareness of deposit insurance policy, the DIV has made certain contributions to ensure the safety of the credit institution system and strengthening depositors' trust in the banking system.

Stepping into a new phase of development under the leadership of the Government, the SBV leverages the results achieved over the past 25 years, frankly enhancing the limitations. The collective leadership, officers, and employees of the DIV are determined to perform the assigned tasks well to protect the legitimate rights and interests of depositors, actively contributing to ensuring the safety of the credit institution system.
To achieve this goal, DIV Chairman Pham Bao Lam stated that the organization will proactively research and advise the SBV to present to the competent authorities the amendments to the Law on Deposit Insurance that align with the Law on Credit Institution 2024. This will create a solid legal foundation for the DIV to implement its operations and participate more effectively in the restructuring of credit institutions.
Looking towards the future, the DIV is committed to utilizing resources and proactively organizing the systematic implementation of tasks and solutions. The goal is to strive to complete the goals and plans according to the Deposit Insurance Development Strategy up to 2025, with the orientations to 2030 approved by the Prime Minister. This will enhance DIV's financial capacity and operational capability. At the same time, there will be a strong emphasis on training, developing human resources, increasing information technology applications, digital transformation, and innovation to meet new requirements and tasks in the future.
