Information on risks
The provision of any service at a distance in the banking and financial sector results in an increase in the level of operational risk.
It should also be noted that all remote services present a higher risk of security of operations (e.g. due to hackers, illicit appropriation of security keys and / or data, etc.). Since the Customer will be identified by the Bank exclusively through the verification of the Authentication System adopted as part of the Remote Communication Techniques, the same is required to keep secret all codes, devices and procedures used to access and use the Services.
The use of Remote Communication Techniques involves the Customer's responsibility for the use, in any case and by anyone, of the Services for all operations performed through its Authentication System. Without prejudice to the Bank's commitment to adopt all measures aimed at limiting the risks of improper use of the Services, the Customer is responsible for the safekeeping and correct use of the Authentication System as well as for any harmful consequences that may arise from improper use, caused by any third party, even if as a result of loss or theft of the Authentication System itself.
In the event of theft, loss, theft or loss of confidentiality of the Authentication System or of the devices used to receive passwords by the Bank, the Customer must immediately notify the Bank and change the codes and passwords used to use the Services. In any case, the Customer is required to report what happened to the competent Authorities.
For more information on security, the Customer is invited to consult the appropriate section dedicated to security on the Website.
The Customer is informed that it is his responsibility to use the technological devices made available by the Bank in order to limit the risk of computer fraud.
The Bank will always be able to produce, as proof of the concluded Contracts, of the operations carried out, as well as of any communication made through the remote communication techniques, the records in its books and the related balance documents addressed to the Customer, as well as any additional means of proof that can be obtained from the systems and procedures (computer, telephone, etc.) used for the operation of the Remote Communication Techniques (including communications transmitted by ordinary e-mail).
Considering the complexity and continuous evolution of the security systems and technologies used in Remote Communication Techniques, there is a high probability that the Services provided through them may be interrupted or suspended, and this even without the Customer's notice. For example, in order to allow the verification of security, as well as any other aspect connected with the efficiency and regularity of the Remote Communication Techniques and the Authentication System used, the Customer accepts that the Bank may, at any time, suspend the use of one or more Remote Communication Techniques, even during the operation, and make the reactivation of the same subject to receipt of the relevant confirmations.
The use of the Services through Remote Communication Techniques takes place at the free and conscious choice of the Customer, with acceptance of the greater degree of risk that these techniques involve.

There are no additional mechanisms (we call them “guarantee funds”) that protect your money in your Current Account.
Applicable law and language of communications
