System of insurance of deposits and liabilities to investors

  • System of insurance of deposits and liabilities to investors

    All deposits and assets intended for purchasing financial instruments and held at Danske Bank A/S Latvia Branch are subject to compulsory insurance in The Guarantee Fund for Depositors and Investors (Danish Kingdom).
  • What is the Guarantee Fund for Depositors and Investors?
    The Guarantee Fund for Depositors and Investors (hereinafter – the fund) means the body established by the act of Parliament of the Kingdom of Denmark. Within certain limits, the fund reimburses losses incurred by clients of Danish banks, mortgage banks or investment companies, where a bank, a mortgage bank or an investment company is subject to compulsorily dissolution. This protection also applies to all clients of Danske Bank A/S Lithuania Branch (hereinafter – the bank) (private individuals and legal entities).
  • How much is reimbursed by the fund?
    Funds
    The fund can pay compensation of up to EUR 100,000 for deposits or funds in the client's bank account in any currency.

    Securities
    The fund also compensates the loss incurred by an investor if the investor's securities managed, or administered by the bank, or held in an investor securities account are not returned by the bank. The amount of compensation is EUR 20,000 per investor.
  • How is the compensation calculated?
    Funds
    The amount of loans and other financial obligations to the bank is deducted from the total sum of cash deposits held by the client at the bank and the balance held in his/her bank accounts. The client is paid a positive balance of funds up to EUR 100,000.

    Securities
    Generally, suspension of the bank's payments or compulsorily dissolution has no effect on securities, because even in such cases investors usually recover their securities.
    However, sometimes, securities cannot be returned to the investor. In such cases, the fund reimburses the loss because securities were not recovered in the amount of up to EUR 20,000 per investor less any debts to the bank. However, the compensation cannot exceed the market value of outstanding securities.
  • How can I apply for compensation?
    Not later than five business days after commencement of reconstruction or bankruptcy proceedings, the Guarantee Fund will send you a statement of your total balance together with guidelines on how to proceed (the guidelines will also be available at the fund's website).

    When you have received the statement, your new bank will help you file a claim with the Guarantee Fund. The Guarantee Fund will pay the deposits to your new bank within seven business days.
