  • various outstanding or own amounts;
  • card transactions made at the terminals of other banks, whether it is an ATM transaction, a payment at the merchant's POS or on the Internet.


Blocking the amount is the guarantee that the respective bank will receive the money you raised, respectively that a merchant will receive the money for the goods / services offered to you.

The settlement period for transactions made at the terminals of other banks is a maximum of 30 days. That is, during this period the transaction will be settled automatically and will disappear from the "Blocked amount" section, being effectively debited from the account.
