The bank is a member of the Deposit Protection Fund of the Association of German Banks (Bundesverband deutscher Banken e.V.). The Deposit Protection Fund secures all liabilities to be shown in the balance sheet item "Liabilities to customers". These include demand, time and savings deposits, including registered savings bonds. The protection limit per creditor shall be 30% until 31 December 2014, 20% until 31 December 2019, 15% until 31 December 2024 and 8.75% of the Bank's liable capital relevant for deposit protection from 1 January 2025. For deposits established or rolled over after 31 December 2011, the respective new protection limits shall apply as of the aforementioned cut-off dates, irrespective of the date on which the deposit was established. For deposits established before 31 December 2011, the previous protection limits shall apply until the maturity of the deposit or until the next possible termination date. The Bank will advise the client of this security limit upon request. It is also available on the internet at www.bankenverband.de. If the bank is a branch of an institution from another state of the European Economic Area, the Deposit Protection Fund shall only provide compensation if and to the extent that the credit balances exceed the protection limit of the home country’s deposit protection scheme. The level of protection provided by the home country’s deposit protection scheme can be viewed online on the website of the relevant scheme, the address of which shall be made available to the client by the Bank on request.
Claims for which the bank has issued bearer instruments, such as bearer bonds and bearer certificates of deposit, as well as liabilities to credit institutions are not protected.
Reference is made to Section 6 of the statutes of the Deposit Protection Fund for further details on the level of protection, which will be made available upon request.
Insofar as the Deposit Protection Fund or one of its agents makes payments to a client, the client's claims against the bank shall be transferred to the Deposit Protection Fund concurrently in the corresponding amount with all ancillary rights.
The Bank shall be authorised to provide the Deposit Protection Fund or a person authorised by it with all information and documents required in this context.
