1 Scheme responsible for your deposit’s protection. Your deposit is covered by a statutory deposit guarantee scheme, officially recognized in Romania. UniCredit Bank SA. Is participant to the Bank Deposit Guarantee Fund as it is regulated by the Title II from the Law no 311/2015.

2 General cap amount. In case a deposit is unavailable because a credit institution is in default according to the applicable contractual and legal conditions, the compensation payment towards the depositors is performed through the deposit guarantee scheme. Each compensation has a cap amount established at the RON equivalent of EUR 100,000 per credit institution. This means that all the deposits from the same credit institution are aggregated in order to determine the coverage level. For example, if a depositor has a savings account of EUR 90,000 and a current account of EUR 20,000, such depositor will only receive the RON equivalent of EUR 100,000.

Deposits established by legal persons resulting from (i) real estate transactions regarding residential properties with housing destination, (ii) retirement, dismissal, invalidity or death of the depositor and (iii) collecting insurance benefits and compensations for damages resulting from crimes or wrongful convictions are covered above the RON equivalent of EUR 100,000, for a 12-month period from the date the amount was credited into the account at the Bank or the date when the deposits can be legally transferred to another credit institution. Additional information is available on www.fgdb.ro.

3 The cap amount applicable to the joint accounts. In the case of joint accounts, the cap amount established for the RON equivalent of EUR 100,000 is applied to each depositor. The deposits in an account whose beneficiary are two or more persons in their position as members of labour associations, associations or groups of the same kind, without legal personality, are aggregated and treated as if they were placed by a single depositor, for the cap amount calculation of EUR 100,000.

4 Compensation payment. The relevant deposit guarantee scheme is the Bank Deposit Guarantee Fund, having its headquarters on 3 Negru Voda Street, building A3, 2nd floor, Bucharest, ZIP code: 030774, telephone 021-3266020, e-mail address: comunicare@fgdb.ro, www.fgdb.ro. This will grant you all due compensations (up to the RON equivalent of EUR 100,000) within 7 working days from the date the deposits became unavailable.
