2 System responsible for the protection of the covered investment service
3 General coverage limit
If a claim from a covered investment service is unavailable due to a credit institution's failure to meet its obligations towards investors/customers under the current legislation, followed by the competent supervisory authority’s decision or court ruling, investors-customers are repaid by the Hellenic Deposit and Investment Guarantee Fund. This repayment covers EUR thirty thousand (30.000) maximum This means that all eligible claims deriving from covered investment services of an investor/customer at the same credit institution are added up in order to set the coverage level. If, for instance, an investor/customer claims EUR 15.000 and EUR 20.000 from two covered investment services respectively, he/she will only be repaid EUR 30.000.
4 Protection limit for co-beneficiaries of the same claim deriving from investment services
As regards investors/customers who are co-beneficiaries of the same claim deriving from covered investment services, each investor/customer's share is considered a separate claim against the credit institution, and the investor/customer is repaid the total amount of EUR thirty thousand (€30.000), which also includes any other claims deriving from covered investment services.
