Reykjavik - Iceland was Monday expecting to reach a quick deal with German depositors in Kaupthing Bank, one of the North Atlantic nation's three main banking groups that recently collapsed over the global credit crunch.
Kaupthing had some 30,000 customers in Germany.
Late Sunday, Iceland said it had agreed to reimburse British and Dutch depositors of failed internet bank Icesave, operated by the collapsed Landsbanki Bank.
The compensation agreed for the British and Dutch depositors was 20,000 euros (25,300 dollars).
