										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">5 November 2026&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Moneybase has taken out a safeguarding insurance policy on the money its clients hold in their Moneybase accounts, underwritten by Lloyd’s of London and Starr Europe Insurance Limited, with cover of up to €5,000,000.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Client money at Moneybase is held in dedicated safeguarding accounts, kept separate from the company’s own funds, reconciled daily and ring-fenced from its creditors at all times, and Moneybase never lends client money. The insurance has been taken out voluntarily, over and above these safeguarding arrangements, as an additional layer of protection for clients.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In the highly unlikely event that Moneybase were ever to become insolvent and the safeguarding accounts held less than clients are owed, the policy pays the difference, whatever the cause of the shortfall. Any payment by the insurance is made into those accounts for the benefit of clients and can never be paid to the company.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“As Malta’s trusted financial partner, protecting and growing our clients’ wealth is our top priority, and this insurance gives every Moneybase client additional peace of mind on top of the safeguarding already in place. As we mark 55 years since the group pioneered financial services in Malta, our mission is to keep strengthening the service our clients receive for many years to come,” said Alan Cuschieri, founder and CEO of Moneybase.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The cover is complimentary and applies automatically to every Moneybase client. Starr Europe Insurance Limited, which leads the policy, is based in Malta and regulated by the Malta Financial Services Authority. Full details of the policy are available at moneybase.com/insurance-protection.&nbsp;</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">MeDirect&nbsp;Bank (Malta) plc is a public limited liability company registered in Malta (company registration number C 34125) and licensed by the MFSA as a credit institution under the Banking Act. The&nbsp;company&nbsp;provides banking,&nbsp;investment&nbsp;and lending services to personal and business clients in Malta, and owns&nbsp;MeDirect&nbsp;Bank SA, a fully digital challenger bank in Belgium.&nbsp;MeDirect&nbsp;is a subsidiary of MDB Group Limited, which is&nbsp;ultimately majority&nbsp;owned by Banka CREDITAS (Czech Republic).&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As&nbsp;of&nbsp;30 June 2026, the Bank&#8217;s&nbsp;consolidated&nbsp;total assets stood at €5.8 billion, up from €5.3 billion at the end of 2025 and €5.1 billion at the end of 2024.&nbsp;</p>
