Your personal account is covered by the Swedish deposit guarantee scheme under a decision by the Swedish National Debt Office. The maximum compensation per customer is SEK 1,150,000 (approximately EUR 100,000). The National Debt Office ensures that compensation is made available for payment within seven working days of the date on which entitlement to compensation takes effect.
