The Fonds de Garantie des Dépôts et de Résolution (FGDR) has a mission to serve the public interest: it is the crisis operator for the banking and financial sector. It protects customers’ assets and compensates them if their institution fails. The FGDR manages four mechanisms: the deposit guarantee scheme, the investor compensation scheme, the performance bonds guarantee scheme and the guarantee of management services. It intervenes in the event that an institution fails, on a preventative basis or by paying compensation to customers.      

!!! Alert !!! The FGDR is warning the public about scammers 

The Deposit i Insurance and Resolution Fund (FGDR) has been informed of fraud attempts carried out by individuals posing as the FGDR or its representatives. These scammers contact the public by impersonating the FGDR via messaging and a fake website called “https:// fgdr.net,” as well as a fake email address “contact@ fgdr.net,” with the aim of obtaining personal information (bank details, identification documents, contact information) or money. We strongly recommend that you do not respond to these communications, do not provide any personal information, and do not make any bank payments.
