Joint account is an account held jointly by two or more natural persons, or by two or more juridical persons or entities. Joint accounts, regardless of whether the conjunction “and,” “or,” “and/or” is used, shall be insured separately from any single or singly-owned deposit account.
If the account is held jointly by two or more natural persons, or by two or more juridical persons/entities, the maximum insured deposit shall be divided into as many equal shares as there are natural persons or juridical entities, unless a different sharing is stipulated in the document of deposit.
If the account is held by a juridical person/entity jointly with one or more natural persons, the maximum insured deposit shall be presumed to belong entirely to such juridical person/entity.
The aggregate of the interests of each co-owner over several joint accounts, whether owned by the same or different combinations of individuals, juridical persons or entities, shall likewise be subject to the Maximum Deposit Insurance Coverage of Php1,000,000.
