DSB Bank (DSB: Dirk Scheringa Beheer) was a Dutch bank and insurer that failed in 2009. Its loans were managed under Quion from June 2013 until June 2016 when Finqus began operating as the former DSB Bank. In 2018 Finqus BV took over DSB Bank and operated as a subsidiary of DSB Group. Finqus BV turned over its loan portfolio to NIBC Bank on 21 July 2021.[1]

The company was founded in 1975 by Dirk Scheringa [nl], the sole shareholder. It was originally called Buro Frisia, but in 1998 the DSB Groep (English: DSB Group) was founded which included Buro Frisia. The bank made the news several times, due to, among numerous things, overpriced mortgages and deferred annuities. On 19 October 2009, the Amsterdam court declared DSB Bank to be in bankruptcy.[2] Currently all bank services are active. No new loan applications are being accepted, and providing advice for payment services has also stopped.
