All deposits are handled under strict compliance and transparency guidelines, ensuring that funds are securely recorded and allocated for their intended purposes. Key points: Deposits are accepted only from recognized organizations, institutions, and partners. All transactions follow international banking standards and SWIFT protocols. Receipts and confirmations are generated automatically for every deposit. Funds deposited are earmarked for specific projects or programs in alignment with IDA’s mission.
