Safekeeping of the Client‘s Crypto-assets and Accounting
- The Bank holds the Client‘s Crypto-assets with Custodians and may authorise Custodians to further hold the Client‘s Crypto-assets with other Custodians. The Bank chooses the Custodians with whom the Client‘s Crypto-assets are entrusted for safekeeping in accordance with criteria established in the legislation and professional due diligence in order to ensure the reliability of the Custodian used. The Bank only uses Custodians that have been authorised in the European Union under applicable legislation.
- Within the scope of custody and administration of crypto-assets, the Bank is liable for damage resulting from an incident directly attributable to the Bank. An incident not attributable to the Bank is any event where the Bank proves it occurred independently of the provision of the Service or the Bank‘s operations (e.g. a problem inherent to the functioning of the distributed ledger over which the Bank has no control, etc.). The Bank‘s liability extends to the market value of the lost Crypto-asset at the time of the loss.

- The Client‘s Crypto-assets are safekept with the Custodian on a Crypto-assets account opened in the name of the Bank for joint safekeeping of the Crypto-assets of the Clients of the Bank (Client account, nominee account, etc.).
- The Bank undertakes to maintain a register in its account management system to ensure that the Client‘s Crypto-asset positions are clearly segregated from the Crypto-assets belonging to other clients of the Bank and the Bank itself. The Bank ensures that the Client‘s Crypto-assets held with the Custodian belong to the Client, do not form part of the Custodian‘s insolvency estate, and cannot be used to satisfy the claims of the Custodian‘s creditors.
- The Bank undertakes to ensure that the Client‘s Crypto-assets are not used on the Custodian‘s own account and that the Crypto-assets held with the Custodian are not encumbered.
- The Client gives the Bank the right to use the Client‘s Crypto-assets in its own interests in situations where there is insufficient money on the Client‘s Account for payment of service fees, compensation, default interest or other arrears. In such an event, the Bank has the right to sell the Client‘s Crypto-assets without the Client‘s Transaction Order on the market conditions in a quantity that allows for payment of the amount payable.
- The Client has access to their Crypto-asset positions, balances, values, and completed transactions via internet or mobile banking.
- The list of Custodians used by the Bank and the principles for the custody of Crypto-assets are described in the information provided regarding Crypto-asset Services, available on the Bank‘s website.

The Client undertakes to gather information about the rights and obligations arising from the Crypto-assets and about other events personally and to perform all the potential obligations arising from the Crypto-assets. The Bank does not have the obligation to notify the Client of such rights and obligations or other events. In the cases provided for in legislation or the Terms and Conditions, the Client will exercise such rights and obligations in person and through the Bank, if the Bank so allows, by submitting written instructions to the Bank.
-
If the Bank possesses information concerning rights and obligations or other events (e.g. corporate actions) and deems notification necessary or if the obligation to notify arises from legal acts, the Bank shall notify the Client via the Website, internet or mobile banking or another method chosen by the Bank. The Bank is not liable to the Client for any damage or expenses that have arisen or may arise as a result of the failure to inform about such rights and obligations.
-
The Bank, at its sole discretion, collects, receives, transfers, and demands from a person concerned (including the issuer or the Custodian) or a Third Party mediating the payment and forwards to the Client‘s Account any proceeds and disbursements from the Crypto-assets. The Bank has no obligation to inform the Client of such actions in advance. In the event that the relevant person (including the issuer or the Custodian) or a Third Party mediating the payment submits a claim to the Bank for the return of a payout made to the Client, the Bank has the right to transfer the payouts made to the Client back to such relevant person (including the issuer or the Custodian) or to the Third Party mediating the payment from the Client‘s Account without an additional Transaction Order from the Client.
-
If the Bank, the relevant person making the payment (including the issuer or the Custodian) or a Third Party mediating the payment is required by legal acts to withhold or pay any state and/or local taxes, duties or other fees from any payouts or Transactions made to Crypto-asset owners, the Bank shall transfer to the Client the amount from which the aforementioned taxes, duties, and other fees have been deducted. If the obligation to pay taxes, fees, and other charges becomes evident after the Bank has transferred the amount to the Client, the Bank has the right to make adjustment transfers.
-
If a person concerned (including the issuer or the Custodian) or a Third Party intermediating a payment gives the opportunity to choose whether the income received from the Crypto-assets is paid out in Crypto-assets or money, the Bank may make a choice at its own discretion. The Bank shall not be liable for any possible damage or expenses incurred by the Client in connection with making such a choice.
-
If the Client receives the Crypto-assets and/or money after the Client has terminated the Agreement and the Client‘s Account has been closed, the Bank undertakes to inform the Client thereof. If such notification is not possible, the Bank has the right to decide, at its own best discretion, the sale of the Crypto-assets at the market price and transfer the money obtained from such sale to the Client‘s Account or to the Bank Account indicated by the Client.
-
The Bank has the right to sign any and all documents and perform any acts in the name of the Client, which are necessary for exercising the rights arising from the Crypto-assets and which do not require the Client‘s Transaction Order.
-
If changes are made to the underlying distributed ledger technology or another event occurs as a result of which new rights may arise for the Client or their existing rights change, the Client is entitled to the respective Crypto-asset or new rights created due to such change on such basis and to such extent as were the Client‘s positions at the time of the occurrence of the said change or event. This applies only if the Bank and/or the Custodian supports and enables the execution of the respective event and such activity is in accordance with applicable law and the internal procedures of the Bank and/or the Custodian.
If the Bank and/or the Custodian decides not to support the said event or change or not to enable its execution, the Client shall not have the right to the new Crypto-assets created by the respective event or to other rights or benefits arising from such events. The Bank shall not be liable for any possible damage or expenses incurred by the Client in connection with not supporting the aforementioned events, rights or changes.
