DICO Differential Premium Score Determination

Published, The Ontario Gazette, Date February 10, 2018

This document is issued by the Deposit Insurance Corporation of Ontario (the “Corporation”) to set out the rules it applies when determining the differential premium score of a credit union or league for a year, pursuant to section 105 of Ontario Regulation 237/09 (the “General Regulation”) made under the Credit Unions and Caisses Populaires Act, 1994 (the “Act”). It sets out the rules for determining the differential premium score of a credit union or league with a financial year beginning on or after January 1, 2018. The score will be used by the Corporation to calculate the annual deposit insurance premium payable by a credit union or league under section 105 of the regulation.

  1. Differential Premium Score Determination

The differential premium score of a credit union or league is calculated with reference to the following components:

  • Capital: as measured by the level of regulatory capital of the credit union or league; and
  • Corporate governance as measured by the effectiveness of the corporate governance practices of the credit union or league as determined with reference to the Act and the by-laws of the Corporation.

The maximum score attainable is 100 points. A credit union or league may receive a maximum of:

  • 64 points for the capital component; and
  • 36 points for the governance component.

Where a credit union or league does not file its annual return or the resolution of the board of directors as required under the Corporation’s By-law No. 5, as amended from time to time, respecting Standards of Sound Business and Financial Practices, the credit union or league will be assigned a score of zero points.

  1. Capital Component

Points for the capital component of the score are calculated based on information from the annual return filed with the Corporation by the credit union or league.

For all credit unions or leagues, the number of points for the capital component will be determined as follows:

  • Where regulatory capital expressed as a percentage of its total assets is less than 4.00%, the credit union or league will receive zero points for the capital component.
  • Where regulatory capital expressed as a percentage of its total assets is 4.00% or more, the points for the capital component for a credit union or league will be based on its regulatory capital expressed as a percentage of its risk-weighted assets, as follows:
    • Where regulatory capital expressed as a percentage of its risk weighted assets is less than 8.00%, the credit union or league will receive zero points.
    • Where regulatory capital expressed as a percentage of its risk weighted assets is greater than or equal to 8.00% and less than 8.10%, the credit union or league will receive one point.
    • Where regulatory capital is greater than or equal to 8.10% and less than 14.00%, the credit union or league will receive points based on the following formula:
      [(D – 8.00%) ÷ 6.00%] × 64
      in which, “D” is regulatory capital expressed as a percentage of its risk weighted assets
    • Where regulatory capital expressed as a percentage of its risk weighted assets is 14.00% or more, the credit union or league will receive 64 points.

Transitional rule 2018

A credit union that was classified as a class 1 credit union as of December 31, 2017 or a league, and whose financial year-end falls on December 31, 2017, would calculate the capital component according to the Differential Premium Score Determination Document date April 12, 2014.

Credit unions or leagues subject to this transitional rule will revert to the standard calculation for the capital component effective for the 2019 premium billing.

  1. Corporate Governance Component

Points for corporate governance will be based on ratings determined during the examination of the credit union or league conducted by the Corporation. Examination ratings will be based on an assessment of compliance with the Act and regulations made under the Act, orders made by the Superintendent of the Financial Services Commission of Ontario or the Corporation, the by-laws of the Corporation, and the credit union’s or league’s own by-laws and policies.

The maximum rating for each standard is set out in Table 1 below:

table 1:

corporate governance rating allocations

Standard Maximum Rating
Board of Directors 30
Audit Committee 20
Management 50
Total 100

The ratings for each standard are totaled and then converted to points, based on the following formula:

(G ÷ 100) × 36

in which, “G” is the total rating of all corporate governance standards

Each standard has a number of specific elements that will be separately assessed during the examination of the credit union or league by the Corporation. There are three ratings that can be obtained: Adequate, Needs Improvement, or Inadequate. Ratings will be assigned for each element within each standard as set out in Tables 2, 3 and 4 below:
