DenizBank AG is a member of the legal protection scheme for banks and bankers and the
Einlagensicherung der Banken & Bankiers Gesellschaft m.b.H.
Due to the EU directives, implemented in Austria by the Austrian Act on Deposit Guarantee and Investor Compensation Schemes (ESAEG) and by the Austrian Banking Act (BWG), each financial institution that accepts deposits and
respectively offers investment services is obliged by law to be a member of a deposit guarantee scheme.

the deposit insurance of
Einlagensicherung AUSTRIA GmbH.

Deposits of natural and legal persons are guaranteed up to maximum amount of 100,000 Euro per depositor. For certain special conditions, such as "temporary limited covered deposits" (e.g. deposits from real estate transactions
relating to private residential properties; payments of guarantee benefits or compensation for criminal offenses; payments which fulfill the statutory purposes - more detailed information can be found on the website of the
Deposit Guarantee Protection,
www.einlagensicherung.at ) a request can be made within 12 months after the guarantee claim application at the
guarantee scheme that the deposit is to be reimbursed up to an amount of EUR 500,000.00.
The deposit guarantee is valid for each customer (depositor), not per account. In the case of a jointly managed account, each (legitimated) account holder is therefore entitled to compensation. In principle, the assignment of
the balances of the joint account is based on 1:1 allocation. However, it is free to the account holders to hand over a written regulation to the credit institute before the admission of guarantee claim, which deviates from the
1:1 allocation. In the event of occurrence of an guarantee claim, then the selected allocation key should be used for the assignment.
Deposits of an account owned by two or more persons, who are shareholders of a general partnership, (Offene Gesellschaft), a limited partnership (Kommanditgesellschaft) a civil law association (Gesellschaft bürgerlichen
Rechts) or of any of these types of companies from an EU member state or a third country, will be aggregated for the purpose of calculation of the maximum amount and treated as one single depositor. This also applies to
balances and other receivables from securities transactions.
According to Austrian law, in the event of insolvency of the custodian bank, securities shall be returned to the investors by the credit institution concerned. As the securities are only deposited by the custodian bank, the
customer, as the owner of the securities in insolvency proceedings, can file a request for segregation of the securities.
Any monetary claims arising under the investor compensation scheme are guaranteed up to maximum amount of EUR 20,000, both for natural persons and legal persons. However, the compensation scheme’s cover obligation for claims of
creditors, which are not natural persons, is limited to 90% of the claim from securities per investor.
In normal case all types of deposits / balances credited to bank accounts and saving books (e.g. salary accounts, savings accounts, time deposits etc.),are subject of the Deposit Guarantee.
Returns from securities settlement (dividends, sales revenues, coupon payments, repayments, etc.) are protected as deposit of a customer account within the framework of the Deposit Guarantee up to a maximum amount of EUR
100,000.00. In particular, the Investor Compensations are subject to the following demands of the investor against the credit institution:
Administration and custody of securities (custody business)
Trade of the credit institution with financial market instruments;
Different Payment Deadlines
In case of Investor Compensation – within 3 months, in case of Deposit Guarantee - within 20 working days (until 31st of December 2018); within 15 working days (from 1st of
