3. DEPOSIT PROTECTION

3.1 Deposits held with Xapo Bank are covered by the Gibraltar Deposit Guarantee Scheme (“GDGS”).

3.2 Eligible depositors are covered up to EUR 100,000.00 (or currency equivalent) per depositor, irrespective of the number of accounts or the currencies (if applicable) these are held in at the bank that has failed.

3.3 The GDGS does not regulate us or other banks, this is carried out by the GFSC. The GFSC is the Competent Authority and has been appointed as the Resolution Authority. The Financial Services Resolution and Compensation Committee (“FSRCC”) is the designated authority, who administers the GDGS. Only the GFSC, as the regulator, or the Courts can decide if a bank is unable to repay its deposits. The GDGS cannot make this decision.
