Safeguarding & Deposit Protection
How Your Money Is Protected
1. We Are a Licensed Bank
Chapter Bank Limited holds a Class A Full Offshore Banking Licence from the Financial Services Unit (FSU) of the Ministry of Finance, Commonwealth of Dominica. Approved: 9 April 2025. Licence Number: 2025/C0061.
2. How Your Funds Are Held
Your deposits are kept in dedicated accounts separate from the bank's own funds at all times.
Your money is never lent to other customers or used for investments.
Accounts are checked and reconciled every business day.
We submit quarterly reports to the FSU on the status of all customer funds.
3. Deposit Protection — Important Disclosure
Chapter Bank Limited is licensed in the Commonwealth of Dominica. It is NOT a member of the UK Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS), the EU Deposit Guarantee Scheme or any equivalent deposit protection scheme.

This means: if Chapter Bank were to become insolvent, there is no government-backed scheme that would automatically pay you back up to a fixed limit. However, your funds are held in segregated accounts ring-fenced from Chapter Bank's own assets.

You should carefully consider this information when deciding whether to bank with us.

Regulatory Capital: USD 1,500,000 -- 50% above the FSU minimum
Capital Adequacy Target: 37.5% or above

As an offshore bank licensed in the Commonwealth of Dominica, we are required to protect client assets entrusted to us and to manage them prudently in line with applicable banking and prudential regulations.

Client deposits and other funds are held in accounts in our name for the benefit of clients, including with carefully selected correspondent and custodian institutions. We maintain robust internal controls, reconciliations and oversight arrangements to ensure that client balances are properly recorded, monitored and segregated in accordance with legal and regulatory requirements.

While we take appropriate steps to safeguard client funds, the specific protections available to you, including any deposit-protection or investor-compensation schemes, may differ from those in your home jurisdiction. Our products are not covered by the deposit-guarantee schemes of the United Kingdom, the European Union, the United States or other countries unless expressly stated otherwise.

You should carefully consider the legal and regulatory environment of Dominica and any relevant cross-border implications before placing funds with us.
