Заморожен счёт в банке Trasatlantico Ltd из-за банкротства корреспондентского банка Snoras в Литве

50₽ VIP

У моей компании (оффшорной) был открыт счёт в банке Trasatlantico Ltd (www.bancotrasatlantico.dm, он находится в доминиканской республике).

У Трасатлантико были корсчета долларовые в Литовском банке Snoras, который был национализирован и объявлен банкротом в ноябре этого года. Вроде как Trasatlantico Ltd находится на балансе банка Snoras, хотя они этого не декларируют. Сейчас счет моей компании заморожен, как на ввод так и на вывод средств.

Из банка Трасатлантико пишут что на счетах в Snoras было 1/4 всех их средств и сейчас они заморожены.

Основной вопрос в следующем - является данная ситуация достаточным основанием для неисполнения моих платёжных поручений.

Вот письмо из банка:

We would like to update you on the unfortunate situation that our bank is in due to the force major circumstances beyond our control.

AB Bankas Snoras of Lithuania has been a major correspondent bank of Banco Trasatlantico Ltd since October 2001. Over the course of these 10 years they have provided excellent service to us in both payment clearing and payments cards. On November 16, 2011, 100% of AB Bankas Snoras's shares were nationalized by the Lithuanian government and the bank was placed into temporary administration.

On November 24, the bank was declared bankrupt and administrator appointed.

On 16th of November, our bank held over 8.5 million USD in different currencies with AB Bankas Snoras, which represented most of our liquid funds and 1/4 of our balance sheet. These funds with AB Bankas Snoras are not insured, as they exceed EUR100,000 maximum insured deposit amount. Along with us, 7 other banks have total funds of 132 Mil EUR stuck in accounts at AB Bankas Snoras. According to the media reports and our information, fourth tier of creditors of AB Bankas Snoras, to which our bank belongs, will be compensated last and this process may take anywhere from 3 to 7 years. Significant losses of the fourth tier creditors are anticipated in the worst case scenario.

Banco Trasatlantico Ltd's local regulators, Financial Services Unit of the Commonwealth of Dominica have been duly apprised of this crisis situation and we are keeping regular if not daily contact with them to make sure that the underlining interests of our depositors are protected. Acting in the good faith and in order to protect our depositors, FSU has placed a temporary restriction on effecting bank transactions including any outgoing payments. We, acting with the same objectives, have initiated a restriction on incoming payments as well, so all incoming payments that we have been receiving are being returned to the remitters.

Unfortunately current owners of the bank are not capable of injecting such significant required capital at this time in order to resume regular business. In order to deal with this situation, we believe that the optimal solution is to sell the bank to a third party, reputable financial institution which can recapitalize the bank. We have informed the Financial Services Unit of the proposed restructuring of the bank which is to be supported by the submission of a comprehensive proposal at the soonest for review and consideration for further action. The bank's current owners and managers are working relentlessly to conclude the intended sale, to restore a functional level of liquidity with which the bank will then proceed to resume regular business at least by the end of January 2012.

You will be updated accordingly, as soon as we have any new information available. We do deeply regret this unforeseen and unfortunate situation and will continue to strive to find have the best resolution in the interest of you, our client.

Sincerely yours,

Banco Trasatlantico Ltd
