FATCA and CRS - Foreign Account Tax Compliance

FATCA_Skyline
More than 50 countries, included all countries where DNB is present (ex. USA), have signed international agreements to report tax information, FATCA and CRS.

Due to this we are required to provide information to local tax authorities about our customers, who are domiciled or resident for tax purposes, in one of the countries that have signed the above-mentioned agreements. Here you will find information about what this means and what you need to do.
 

What information do we need?

The information we need is:
  • Tax residence
  • Type of business
  • Whether the company has passive/active operating income/assets
  • Citizenship (private individuals)

We need this information to identify which of our customers we are under a legal obligation to report.

The self-certification form must be signed by a person with signatory rights or an authorised position. Please return the form by mail.

Other information

All information we receive in this connection is treated confidentially in accordance with the bank's duty of confidentiality and will not be used for any other purposes, such as marketing.
