  • depositor claims arising under the bank financial settlements pursued by the bank,
  • the amounts spent on the funeral expenses of the account holder and on the disposal of the deposit in the event of the account holder demise, as long as they come due prior to the date of meeting the guarantee condition,
  • depositor claims arising under the bank securities, supported by the registered instruments issued by the issuer or registered deposit certificates, if the securities had been issued prior to 2 July 2014.
