Basic information about the protection of your eligible deposits

 

(1) Scheme responsible for the protection of your deposit

Your deposit is covered by a statutory deposit guarantee scheme. If insolvency should occur, your eligible deposits would be repaid up to €100,000.

 

(2) General limit of protection

If a covered deposit is unavailable because a credit institution is unable to meet its financial obligations, depositors are repaid by the DGS. This repayment covers at maximum €100,000 per person per credit institution. This means that all eligible deposits at the same credit institution are added up in order to determine the coverage level. If, for instance, a depositor holds a savings account with €90,000 and a current account with €20,000, he or she will only be repaid €100,000.

This method will also be applied if a credit institution operates under different trademarks. This means that all eligible deposits with one or more of these trademarks are in total covered up to €100,000.

 

(3) Limit of protection for joint accounts

In case of joint accounts, the limit of €100,000 applies to each depositor. However, eligible deposits in an account to which two or more persons are entitled as members of a business partnership, association or grouping of a similar nature, without legal personality, are aggregated and treated as if made by a single depositor for the purpose of calculating the limit of €100,000.

 

In some cases eligible deposits which are categorised as “temporary high balances” are protected above €100,000 for six months after the amount has been credited or from the moment when such eligible deposits become legally transferable. These are eligible deposits relating to certain events which include:

(a)           certain transactions relating to the purchase, sale or equity release by the depositor in relation to a private residential property;

(b)          sums paid to the depositor in respect of insurance benefits, personal injuries, disability and incapacity benefits, wrongful conviction, unfair dismissal, redundancy, and retirement benefits;

(c)           the depositor’s marriage, judicial separation, dissolution of civil partnership, and divorce;

(d)          sums paid to the depositor in respect of benefits payable on death; claims for compensation in respect of a person’s death or a legacy or distribution from the estate of a deceased person.
