Additional Information

1 System that is responsible for covering your deposit.

2 General coverage limit

If a deposit becomes unavailable in a general and permanent manner because a credit institution is found to be unable to meet its obligations to its depositors, in accordance with applicable law by a decision of the competent supervisory or judicial authority, the Hellenic Deposit & Investment Guarantee Fund compensates depositors.

The payment of compensation covers a maximum amount of one hundred thousand (100.000) euros. This means that all deposits of the same depositor in the specific credit institution are added in order to determine the coverage limit. For example, if a depositor maintains a savings account of €90.000 and a current account of €20.000, they will only be reimbursed for €100.000.

5 Compensation

The amount of the compensation is paid by TEKE within seven (7) working days from the date of issuance of the decision provided by law of the competent supervisory or judicial authority. In certain, this deadline may be extended up to a maximum of three (3) months.

The depositor’s right to compensation is statute-barred after the lapse of five (5) years from the above deadlines.

For the purpose of calculating the amount of the compensation, the balances of the deposit accounts shall be offset against all claims of the credit institution against the depositor, if they had become due on or before the date of insolvency of the credit institution.
