The Azerbaijan Deposit Insurance Fund (ADIF) has paid compensation to cover more than 80 per cent of the physical entities' insured deposits in the bankrupt RoyalBank through three agent banks within 35 days.

Three agent banks chosen by ADIF to pay compensation to RoyalBank's insured depositors have paid 11.723 million manat to 1162 depositors since August 3.

The compensation is being paid through the Muganbank, Bank Respublika and Agbank where special working groups have been created. The accounts of depositors in 33 RoyalBank branches will be served by 27 branches of the three agent banks.

Payments will be made until July 20, 2013.

The deposits in ADIF member banks at an annual interest rate of over 12 per cent, are not insured by the fund and the compensation is not envisaged.
