FBME Liquidation and FBME Claim

This article contains details in regards to FBME Liquidation and FBME Claim.

On the 21st of December, the final hearing concluded the legal procedure of the application filed to the Nicosia District Court by the Central Bank of Cyprus for the winding up and liquidation of FBME (Cyprus) LTD (hereinafter referred to as “FBME”). The procedure for the payment of compensation from the Deposit Guarantee Fund for Banks in relation to deposits up to EUR 100,000 held in FBME still continues despite the liquidation procedure.

FBME Liquidation

Following the probable successful issuance of a court order approving the liquidation of FBME, the judge will further appoint an external liquidator who will investigate the assets and liabilities of the bank. Once this investigation is completed, the payments can be made to the depositors with blocked amounts as they are considered to be preferential creditors.

It is expected that by the beginning of February 2017 the Court shall reach its decision as to whether it shall issue an order for the liquidation of FBME.
