Guarantee amount
The amount of funds not exceeding the PLN equivalent of EUR 100,000 is guaranteed in its entirety.
The rules for calculating the guaranteed amount
- The guaranteed amount is determined as per the balance of the depositor funds as of the day of meeting the guarantee condition to the bank or savings and credit union (inclusive of the interest accrued to that date).
- The guaranteed amount is calculated from the total funds deposited in all the accounts (eg. fixed-term deposits, current accounts, savings and clearing accounts) of one person and its claims to the bank or savings and credit union.
- In the event of a joint account each of the co-owners is entitled to a separate amount of the guarantee.
- In the event of an investment firm account which holds the deposited funds entrusted to the firm by its clients, each of the clients is entitled to a separate amount of the guarantee.
