The accounts are covered by the deposit guarantee scheme in accordance with a decision by the National Debt Office. Each customer is entitled to compensation for the combined amount on the accounts that they hold, up to a maximum of SEK 1,150,000.
The Swedish National Debt Office makes the compensation available for payment within 7 business days from the date the right to compensation has arisen. In addition to this amount, the account holder may, under certain conditions and according to law, receive compensation for deposits related to specific life events – for example, the sale of a private residence, inheritance, or insurance payout – up to a maximum of SEK 5,000,000.
