That could take a long time. After a firm has gone bankrupt, you can apply to De Nederlandsche Bank (DNB) for compensation. You must specify the value of your investments on the day of the bankruptcy. We will check these data and compare them with the firms financial accounting records. However, if these records are not in order or if the firm committed fraud, it will take a while to sort everything out. This is why it could take several months, or even a year or longer before you get compensation.
