Austrian EURAM Bank Winding Down- Payouts only after AML Checks
We've been receiving numerous requests from EURAM Bank clients seeking assistance with refunds from the Deposit Guarantee Scheme following the prohibition of business operations by the Austrian Financial Market Authority (FMA).
🔒 Key Points:
- Official stoppage of payments declared.
- Deposit Guarantee Scheme to reimburse deposits up to €100,000 per depositor with potential higher limits under specific conditions.
- Einlagensicherung AUSTRIA tasked with managing pay-outs.
- Anti-money laundering checks to precede disbursements, with client data shared with the AML Notification Office and Austrian Police, a potentially impactful and unprecedented step for many clients. Legal actions and file inspections are recommended.
Our team stands ready to provide support during this challenging time.
European Union sanctions against the Russian Federation
The European Union's sanctions against the Russian Federation and Belarus have presented the Austrian economy with complex challenges and numerous risks since February 2022. Business relationships with Russia that violate sanctions or an embargo can not only result in heavy administrative penalties, but can also be punishable by law and thus carry the threat of imprisonment. Our International Desk, led by partner Lukas Roeper and associate Victoria Fischl, supports domestic companies in navigating the sanctions jungle as effectively as possible.
