Upon visiting a branch of the Bank we kindly ask you to comply with the requirements of the Ministry of Health and to bear in mind the following measures, applied by UBB and aimed at your safety:

• Keep a distance of 2 meters from the other clients and from the branch employees.
• Wait for your turn in front of the branch, if there are already two other clients, who are being serviced inside.
• All our employees are servicing clients with protective masks and gloves and are using disinfection materials.

Measures for clients with financial difficulties

UBB will continue bearing its huge responsibility towards society and will contribute for overcoming the temporary difficulties in the functioning of the economy. The Bank works actively on the elaboration of measures for protecting clients from long-term financial difficulties by offering relaxation for payment of credit obligations. Until the adoption of an industry-wide approach by the banking sector UBB clients may refer to their servicing branches for finding together an appropriate individual solution.
