If insolvency of [insert name of credit institution] should occur, your deposits would be repaid up to the equivalent of EUR 100,000. [Only where applicable:] [Insert name of credit institution] is part of an institutional protection scheme officially recognised as a deposit guarantee scheme.

If insolvency of [insert name of credit institution] should occur, your deposits would be repaid up to the equivalent of EUR 100,000. [Only where applicable:] Your deposit is covered by a statutory deposit guarantee scheme and a contractual deposit guarantee scheme.

In addition, [insert name of credit institution] is part of an institutional protection scheme in which all members mutually support each other in order to avoid insolvency. If insolvency should occur, your deposits would be repaid up to the equivalent of EUR 100,000 by the deposit guarantee scheme. The equivalent of the limit in Czech koruna will be converted using the exchange rate declared by the Czech National Bank for the date on which the Czech National Bank issues notification of the inability of [insert name of credit institution] to meet its commitments to eligible persons under the legal and contractual conditions or on which a Czech or foreign court issued a decision resulting in the suspension of depositors’ right of disposal of deposits at [insert name of credit institution] eligible for insurance (the record date). 2 General limit of protection If a deposit is unavailable because a credit institution is unable to meet its financial obligations, depositors are repaid by the Financial Market Guarantee System (Deposit Insurance Fund) up to a specified limit. This repayment in Czech koruna will amount, at most, to the equivalent of EUR 100,000 per entire bank or credit union. This means that all deposits of the same depositor at the same credit institution, including interest calculated as of the record date, are added up in order to determine the coverage level. If, for instance, a client holds a savings account with the equivalent of EUR 90,000 in Czech koruna and a current account with the equivalent of EUR 20,000 in Czech koruna, he or she will only be paid the equivalent of EUR 100,000 in Czech

For example, this pertains to deposits of funds obtained from a sale of residential property, where the record date occurs within three months of the amount being credited to the account, and to other cases laid down in the Act on Banks. 3 Limit of protection for joint accounts In the case of joint accounts (i.e. accounts with more than one account holder pursuant to Article 41e(1) of the Act on Banks), the share of each client is included separately in his or her limit of EUR 100,000.
