Re: Dutch Deposit Guarantee System
I hadn't read the previous threads. Thanks for the info about the
Dutch compensation scheme.
So their credit rating is tripe?
Nay, just requires
Dutch Courage
Re the scheme
interesting the treatment of joint and multiple accounts, as always the devil is in the detail.
How does the Deposit Protection Scheme work? For a single customer with a total balance of €20,000, that customer would be reimbursed the full €20,000 under the Deposit Guarantee System.
For a single customer with a total balance of €50,000, that customer would be reimbursed the full amount of the first €20,000 under the Deposit Guarantee System, and 90% of the next €20,000 i.e. €18,000, so that customer will get back a total of €38,000 under the Deposit Guarantee System.
For two people with a joint account with a balance of €20,000, 50% of that balance would be attributed to each person (i.e. €10,000) and each would be reimbursed €10,000 under the Deposit Guarantee System.
If a customer has a single account and a joint account, the customer will only get paid out once. So if the customer has a single account with a €20,000 balance, and a joint account with a €50,000 balance, that customer will receive back €20,000 guaranteed. That customer would have a right to 50% of the joint account (i.e. €25,000) and would have a 90% guarantee of up to €20,000 of that, receiving €18,000 back from the joint account. The other joint account holder would be assessed separately on the balance of the €25,000 in the joint account.
