In case of non-payment of the debit balance up to T+2, a mandatory liquidation is made at T+3, for an amount corresponding to it.

Margin Account
The Company, in cooperation with Eurobank-Ergasias SA, provides for the purchase of shares listed on the ATHEX the possibility of transactions through Margin Accounts, by crediting the price of the transaction.
Margin Accounts are high risk because leverage is used (Credit) and in the event of a fall in the stock prices that make up the portfolio the losses will be significantly higher than those that the client would have if he did not use credit.
According to the policy of Eurobank-Ergasias Bank, the Margin Account provides the client with the opportunity to purchase shares until his debit balance reaches 60% of the valuation of the Security Portfolio (40% margin) committed to the margin account. In case the debit balance exceeds 70% (30% margin) of the valuation of the Client Security Portfolio (this may happen in case the valuation of the Client Security Portfolio decreases), the Company calls the client (margin call) requesting to deposit money, sell securities or transfer other items to the Security Portfolio so that the debt portfolio correlation returns below 70%.
Clients wishing to activate a Margin Account will need to sign the relevant contract forms.
