For further information about Kaupthing Bank:



According to the Icelandic legislative act 125/2008, deposits to private individuals and corporates are priority claims. Whether the legislation applies to depositors depends on which entity of the Kaupthing Group they were customers with. The legislation only applies to Icelandic financial undertakings. The Resolution Committee of Kaupthing Bank anticipates that Kaupthing Bank will be able to pay back its deposits which have been defined as priority claims, made at the headquarters and in branches belonging to the headquarters.

Subsidiaries of Kaupthing Bank hf. and their branches are directly responsible for the deposits made with them. Therefore, if a depositor banked with a subsidiary of Kaupthing Bank or a branch of a subsidiary, the relevant entity should be contacted directly. The rights of depositors regarding deposits made with a subsidiary of Kaupthing Bank hf. will be determined by the law applicable to the subsidiary or the branch of the subsidiary.
