Depositor Information Sheet
Piraeus Bank participates in the Hellenic Deposit and Investment Guarantee Fund (TEKE). Deposits at the Bank, irrespective of currency, are covered by the Deposit Cover Scheme (DCS) of the Deposit and Investment Guarantee Fund (TEKE) in accordance with the specific provisions under Law 4370/2016, as applicable. In case TEKE activates the reimbursement process, the amount is calculated by offsetting balances on deposit accounts with any of the Bank's counter claims against the beneficiary/depositor, if and to the extent they have become overdue and payable on or prior to the failure date, according to the provisions of Articles 440 et seq. of the Civil Code, the information provided by the credit institution's liquidator to TEKE and the legal and contractual provisions governing the overall relationship between the credit institution under liquidation and the depositor. It should be noted that reimbursement is not payable when no transactions relating to the deposit were performed within the last 24 months and the value of the deposit is lower than the administrative costs that would be incurred by TEKE in making such a repayment. The notion of transaction refers to any actual transaction performed by a beneficiary, depositor or third party upon the instructions of any beneficiary, as well as any application submitted to the Bank by the beneficiary requesting information on the deposit account balance.
Customers may obtain more information about TEKE, eligible and excluded deposits either via TEKE's website (www.teke.gr) or the depositor information sheet, also available in our Branches.

1 System responsible for the coverage of your deposit
2 General coverage limit
If a deposit is generally and permanently unavailable due to a credit institution's failure to meet its financial obligations towards depositors under the current legislation, followed by the competent supervisory authority’s decision or court ruling, depositors are repaid by the Hellenic Deposit and Investment Guarantee Fund.
This repayment covers EUR one hundred thousand (100.000) maximum. This means that all eligible deposits of a depositor at the same credit institution are added up in order to set the coverage level. If, for instance a depositor holds a savings account with EUR 90.000 and a current account with EUR 20.000, he/she will only be repaid EUR 100.000.

More information on: www.teke.gr
5 Reimbursement
Reimbursement will be repaid by TEKE within seven (7) working days from the date the competent supervisory authority issues the decision or the court issues the ruling, as provided by law. For some types of deposits this deadline may be extended up to three (3) months maximum.
The depositor's right for compensation is barred after five (5) years from the above deadlines.
To calculate the amount of reimbursement, deposit account balances are offset with any liabilities the depositor has towards the credit institution, in so far they became payable on or before the date of the credit institution's failure.
