What is Headquarters?
In short
The country of the head office hints at which law and which regulator sit behind the account.
Headquarters is the country where a company's head office sits, given here as a country code. It points to the law that governs the account and the regulator that supervises the firm, so it helps you weigh deposit and protection rules across borders. For example, 1822direkt is registered in DE, while Absa is registered in ZA.
