Claims for services and transactions carried out with Unicaja Banco, in accordance with the current regulations, may be sent on paper or by computer, electronic or telematic means, provided that they allow the documents to be read, printed and retained, to:
Regulatory standards
The legislation that regulates the transparency of transactions and customer protection are contained in the following provisions:
Exchange rates on currency and banknote transactions
We offer our customers daily information about the minimum purchase and maximum sale exchange rates that apply to transactions for the purchase and sale of currencies and banknotes from countries not forming part of the EMU, against the euro, whose amount does not exceed €3,000.
Loans
Our loan customers are notified that the pre-contractual information sheet is available to them, free of charge.
Our customers are informed of their right to request a free binding offer for mortgage loans and consumer credits.
Our customers are also informed that the Bank of Spain has published the mortgage loan access guide and the informative booklet on the guide, whose creation was mandated by article 20 of Order EHA/2899/2011, of 28 October, on the transparency and protection of banking services customers.
Likewise, our customers are informed that Unicaja Banco adheres to the Code of Good Practices for the viable restructuring of debts with mortgage guarantee on the habitual residence, included in the Appendix of Royal Decree-Law 6/2012, of 9 March, on urgent measures to protect mortgagors without resources, in its latest version introduced by Royal Decree-Law 5/2017, of 17 March, modifying Royal Decree-Law 6/2012, cited above, and Law 1/2013, of 14 May, on measures to strengthen the protection of mortgagors, debt restructuring and social housing.
Customers who want information about its content and/or the requirements that must be met to qualify for it, can go to their branch and ask for the document containing general information on urgent measures to protect mortgagors without resourses, or they can obtain it in general information on measures to strengthen the protection of mortgagors.
PSD (Payment Services Directive) is the acronym colloquially used for the European Payment Services regulations. The so-called PSD2 (Directive 2015/2366 on payments services in the internal market), is the second of the European directives that have come to substitute the first directive on this matter (PSD1) due to major sectors on the European payment market, in particular, card payments, Internet payments and mobile payments, still being broken up according to the national boarders. Many innovative payment products or services that have arisen in recent years were not fully or mostly covered by the scope of application of the PSD1.
PSD2 has been transposed to the Spanish juridical order through Royal Decree Act 19/2018 on payment services and other urgent measures in financial matters. The Royal Decree Act was enacted on 24th November 2018, except for the part on transparency and the rights and obligations that came into force on 24th February 2019, as well as the reinforced authentication security measures for clients and some open, common, secure communication standards, that shall come into force on 14th September 2019.
However, what exactly is PSD2?
It is a standard with the main objective of establishing a regulatory framework on the European payment services market, fundamentally in the digital environment, that has the following objectives:
How does this affect the clients?
By improving both the service offer as well as user security and protection:
1. New services
In addition to the traditional payment services (deposits, withdrawals, standing orders, transfers, cards, PST and money transfers) there are two new services that require access to your payment accounts by a third-party provider of payment services with your prior consent. In that sense, we remind you that your identifying credentials must not be notified to third parties. These two new services are:
PSD2 also regulates a fund confirmation service that allows a payment service provider issuing a card, with your prior consent, to consult your bank, your payment service provider account linked to the card, to see if there are available funds to honour the payment. That fund confirmation will consist of a “YES” or a “NO” regarding the sum consulted. Thus, the service may be applied to a debit card you have subscribed with a payment service provider (for example, Bank A) but which is domiciled in the account of another service provider (for example Bank B). Under no circumstance shall specific information be provided on the amount of your balance and it will only be possible if your account is accessible through (UniVía) Electronic Banking.
This possible third-party access to your accounts with your consent may be refused by the bank for objectively justified, duly documented reasons related to unauthorised or fraudulent access to the payment account by the third-party payment service provider.
2. Security and user protection.
REMEMBER: You must take reasonable measures in custody and use of your security credentials and cards. We recommend you to consult the security measures we advise you for your cards and the Unicaja Banco Electronic Banking.
Information on Royal Decree-Law 1/2017, of 20 January, on urgent consumer protection measures in the issue of floor clauses (Official State Gazette - BOE - of 21 January, with entry into force on the same date; recognised by the Resolution of the Congress of Deputies of 31 January 2017 - BOE of 7 February 2017).
The purpose of this Royal Decree-Law is the establishment of measures that facilitate the return, when appropriate, of amounts unduly paid by the individual consumer to credit institutions in application of certain floor clauses contained in loan or credit agreements guaranteed with a property mortgage.
The customers of the Bank with the relevant profile will be able to benefit from this Royal Decree-Law.
Specialised service responsible for settling claims related to the floor clause.
The Bank has created the following specialised service to process the claims received that are within the scope of Royal Decree-Law 1/2017:
The Specialised Service will have the support of EY Abogados, SLP. to manage and review claims (1).
Filing of claims
The claims, duly signed, will be filed at the branch where the claimant is a customer, or, failing that, at any of the bank's branches that are open to the public.
The bank makes available to its customers, on its website and at branches open to the public, an application form.
The claims must contain at least the following information and documentation:
Personal details of the customer (and of the representative, if applicable): first name, surname(s), Tax ID number (NIF) and address. The representation of the customer, conferred on a third party, must be duly certified.
Identification of the loan subject to the claim (bank account number (CCC), available in any of the receipts for the mortgage loan/credit leading to the claim), and specification of the matters on which a decision from the Specialised Service is requested.
Once the claim has been received, its reception will be acknowledged for the purposes of calculating the deadlines stipulated in Royal Decree-Law 1/2017.
The customer's submission of certain documents together with the application, such as the binding offer, FIPER, loan or credit deed, subrogation or novation deed, private agreements on the modification of conditions, etc., is voluntary, but could speed up the analysis of the claim.
Processing
The bank, through the Specialised Service, will be obliged to process and manage the claims made by customers within the scope of the Royal Decree-Law. The maximum term for the customer and the Bank to reach an agreement will be three months, counted from when the claim was filed. If the claim was filed before 21 February 2017, the three-month period will begin from this date.
In the event that the bank considers the refund to be inappropriate, it will inform the customer of the reasons for its decision.
Once the claim has been received, the bank will calculate, where applicable, the amount to be refunded, and will provide the customer, through its branch, with a notification detailing this calculation.
The customer must state whether they agree with the calculation. If they do, the customer and the bank may agree on compensatory measures other than a cash refund, after 15 days have passed since the date of reception of the decision on their claim.
Other information
The customer and the bank may not take any judicial or out-of-court action against each other with regard to the matter of the claim during the time it is being processed. If a lawsuit is filed prior to the end of the procedure and with the same purpose as the claim, when notified, the process will be suspended until the previous claim is settled.
In the legal proceedings in progress on the entry into force of Royal Decree-Law 1/2017, in which a claim included in its scope is being addressed, launched by one or more customers against the bank, the parties may mutually agree to submit to this procedure, requesting the suspension of the process.
The agreed refunds may have an effect on tax and will be reported to the Tax Agency.
