Welcome to the FGDR’s website
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 notice: The FGDR warns the public about fraudsters disseminating false information and creating fake websites to market financial products. the FGDR never issues any guarantee certificates. Recipients are strongly advised not to respond to these communications or make any financial transactions to the individuals sending them.
