- Customer accounts, according to bankruptcy law, are not part of a company's bankruptcy estate, so their contents are not at risk of being seized by creditors
- For investors who have an account in HellasFin's custody account, coverage of up to €30,000 per investor is valid from the *Investment Services Guarantee Fund of Greece.
* The purpose of the Investment Services Guarantee Fund is to pay compensation to investors, in the event of a definitive or irreversible inability of a participating member to fulfill the following obligations:
- to return to investors the funds it owes to them or belongs to them and which it holds on their behalf in connection with investment services, or
- to return to investors securities owned by them and which it holds or manages on their behalf in connection with investment services.

- HellasFin has capital adequacy above the minimum required
- Every quarter its capital adequacy is supervised by the Capital Market Commission. The relevant reports are made public
- No credit is provided to customers and transaction costs are prepaid, so there is no exposure to counterparty risk
