Hey bunqers π
Have you ever wanted to know how we protect your privacy and how to make sure that your account is as safe as possible? Have you heard about the Deposit Guarantee Scheme (DGS) and are now wondering what it is? Then you should definitely read through this topic.
Deposit Guarantee Scheme (DGS)
We operate under a full European banking license given by the Dutch National Bank (DNB). Included in this banking license is something called the Deposit Guarantee Scheme (DGS). Basically, this insures up to β¬100,000 of your money. You can read more about the DGS on the website of the Dutch National Bank (DNB) or on our infosheet. You can also have a look at our registration at the DNB here.
Important: The non-Euro Savings accounts arenβt eligible for protection under the Deposit Guarantee Scheme and are subject to value fluctuations.
Your privacy
We keep track of your personal data in order to assess and accept new users, process payment transactions, ensure the security and integrity of the financial sector, and to comply with legal obligations. However, we will never sell this information to third parties. We only provide relevant information to third parties if this is required in order to properly provide our services. That being said, we make it our business to keep this to a minimum. You can find more information about this in our Privacy statement.
Keep it safe
We will always keep your money safe and prevent unauthorized access to, and use of, your account; but a little help from you never hurts! πͺ
