JDIC Website To Show How Your Money Is Protected

Panmedia’s designers and developers are giving the Jamaica Deposit Insurance Corporation website a brand new look. The revamped site will launch in March and will utilize various online interactive techniques to encourage stakeholder engagement.

The new site is content driven and is designed to support the JDIC’s sustained public education and awareness programmes that promote the benefits and protection offered by the Deposit Insurance Scheme.

“The JDIC requires a website that inspires public confidence,” says Panmedia developer Daemone Brown. “So our emphasis is on interaction to allow the JDIC to respond quickly to depositor queries and complaints and those from the public. The site also offers easy access to information about how deposit insurance works and the types of products and services that the JDIC protects.”

New and interesting features include:

• A Deposit Insurance Calculator that lets depositors calculate how much of their funds are protected by JDIC if their financial institution fails.
• A Poll that provides valuable feedback on JDIC services.
• Regularly updated articles, videos and photos about industry developments.
• An FAQ that answers the most frequently asked questions about the JDIC and what it covers.
• A Drupal platform to effectively showcase the JDIC’s services.
• Standards compliant code and practices to enhance search engine friendliness, improve accessibility and ensure cross-browser compatibility.
• An attractive home page JavaScript image slider to push the JDIC’s salient messages.
• A content management system for timesaving website updates by the client.

The JDIC is an independent statutory organization established in 1998 to protect depositors and promote stability and confidence in Jamaica’s financial sector. The Corporation’s primary goal is to institute and manage a Deposit Insurance Scheme to protect depositors from loss up to a specified limit.
