Shareholders Rights Directive (SRD II)

EFG Private Bank Ltd supports the objectives that underlie the Shareholder Rights Directive (SRD II). Under SRD II when delivering Wealth Management discretionary services, we are required to either create and publish a detailed Engagement Policy or explain why we have chosen not to produce an Engagement Policy.

It is our view that an Engagement Policy is less relevant to firms providing discretionary services to retail clients where the proportion of shares held in investee companies is much lower than those held by large institutional investors. As such we are do not engage with investee companies in the same manner as other large institutional clients may, such as pension funds or investment funds, to the extent envisaged by SRD II. Therefore, we do not believe it is currently appropriate to establish a formal Engagement Policy.

PSD2 & Third Party Providers API Portal

Die Richtlinie PSD2 wurde von der Europäischen Bankenaufsichtsbehörde eingeführt, um eine Plattform bereitzustellen, die Innovation und Wettbewerb fördert. Diese Plattform bietet einen sicheren Rahmen für den Austausch von Kundendaten und ermöglicht es insbesondere Akteuren aus dem Nichtbankensektor (den Third Party Providern), Zahlungs- und Kontoabfragedienste anzubieten, bei denen die vorherige Zustimmung des Kunden erforderlich ist. Dieser Informationsaustausch zwischen unterschiedlichen Akteuren wird über API («Application Programming Interfaces») ermöglicht.

Third Party Provider Portale

Im Rahmen der Umsetzung dieser Richtlinie bietet die EFG Bank (Luxembourg) S.A. Third Party Providern an, die unterschiedlichen API zu testen, und stellt hierfür seit dem 14. März 2019 eine Testumgebung zur Verfügung.

Wenn Sie ein von der luxemburgischen Aufsichtsbehörde, der Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier (CSSF), zugelassener Third Party Provider sind, klicken Sie hier, um zum Portal zu gelangen oder diesbezüglich weitere Informationen zu erhalten.

Financial Services Compensation Scheme

Your eligible deposits with EFG Private Bank Limited are protected up to a total of £85,000 by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme, the UK's deposit protection scheme. Any deposits you hold above the £85,000 limit are not covered.

Please contact us for further information or visit www.FSCS.org.uk .

Please read “How FSCS Protects your Money" for more information.

Important information about compensation arrangements

We are covered by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS). The FSCS can pay compensation to depositors if a bank is unable to meet its financial obligations. Most depositors - including most individuals and businesses - are covered by the scheme.

In respect of deposits, an eligible depositor is entitled to claim up to £85,000. For joint accounts each account holder is treated as having a claim in respect of their share so, for a joint account held by two eligible depositors, the maximum amount that could be claimed would be £85,000 each (making a total of £170,000). The £85,000 limit relates to the combined amount in all the eligible depositor's accounts with the bank, including their share of any joint account and not to each separate account.

For further information about the compensation provided by the FSCS (including the amounts covered and eligibility to claim) please contact us, refer to the FSCS website www.FSCS.org.uk or call the FSCS on 020 7741 4100 or 0800 678 1100. Please note only compensation related queries should be directed to the FSCS.
