Protection of client assets
Deposit protectionSwitzerland: All banks with a Swiss office must be members of esisuisse: privileged deposits are protected up to CHF 100,000 per client per bank, including non-resident clients and foreign currency deposits, within a system cap.
Luxembourg: Luxembourg credit institutions are members of the FGDL: EUR 100,000 per depositor per institution, repaid within seven working days.
Singapore: Wholesale banks and merchant banks are not members of the SDIC Deposit Insurance Scheme, so deposits booked here carry no Singapore deposit insurance. Only eligible Singapore-dollar deposits are insured; deposits in US dollars or other currencies are not covered.
Custody lawSwitzerland: Swiss Banking Act art. 37d: custody assets held for clients are separated from the bankrupt bank's estate and handed over to the clients, with privileged deposits protected under arts. 37a and 37h.
Luxembourg: Law of 1 August 2001 on the circulation of securities: securities held on account are an intangible interest of the account holders and are claimed collectively from the liquidator, with any shortfall shared pro rata (Arts 3(1), 10(1), 10(2)). Rules on re-use were not located in the statute text read.
