The UK’s decision to leave the EU changes the passporting rights that allow the bank to provide financial services in the UK. British regulators have given the bank temporary permission to perform its regulated operations in the UK. This temporary permission still means that certain rules apply to British clients in addition to the ones applying in the Netherlands.
