After the legal merger, will legal issues be handled according Dutch or Danish law?
Yes, the services are still governed by Dutch (regulatory conduct) law. This principle is translated to the applicable contractual framework. In case of a dispute a Dutch court is the competent court. Dutch consumers still have the possibility to submit a complaint to KiFID as part of the complaint procedure
What happens with the current ‘bewaarbedrijf’ and Wge protection?
Het Bewaarbedrijf BinckBank B.V. will still be a contract party as some client assets are held by this vehicle to comply with the asset segregation rules.
The Danish equivalent of the Wge ((Wet Giraal Effectenverkeer) will apply post-merger date and the protection principles as such will not change.
In both situations the client's securities will be protected in case of a Saxo Bank A/S default situation.
What is the structure for future local IBANs?
There is no change. The current local structure NL64Bick continues after the merger.
Will the LEI code for BinckBank N.V. change to Saxo Bank's LEI code?
The BinckBank NV LEI code (7245006VSPI8FWN4DW03) will change to Saxo’s LEI code (549300TL5406IC1XKD09) for the Dutch and Belgium branches. A new LEI code will be obtained for the French branch. The LEI codes will come into effect from merger date.
At what point(s) will the terms and conditions change due to the proposed legal merger?
In total, 149 documents are changing. 88 documents only require changes to the footer. 61 documents require changes primarily around references to tradename and deposit guarantee scheme.
Updated terms and conditions must be communicated to IAM end clients by Saxo and the IAM before 30 May to comply with 30 days' notice and the expected merger coming into effect on 1 July 2023. This documentation will be shared at the beginning of May with IAMs.
The rest of the documentation will be shared with IAMs during June.
For onboarding of new clients, Saxo will continue accepting former documentation for a period T+30 days after the merger date provided you have shared the new terms and conditions (including DGS-information).
