Current account in EUR

A current account in EUR is intended for receiving cash and cashless deposits, withdrawals and payments. You will receive a debit card for your current account in EUR, which enables quick and easy access to funds in your current account in EUR, 24 hours a day, at points of sale and withdrawal in Croatia and abroad, as well as online.

A current account in EUR is opened by signing an Transaction service agreement (unless the account is being opened on behalf of a person lacking legal capacity). A current account in EUR can be activated immediately after signing the Transaction service agreement or later.

Benefits

  1. Quick access to cash
    A debit card enables quick access to cash, thanks to the largest ATM network in Croatia
  2. Quick, safe and simple
    Contactless payments with your debit card and online payments
  3. Contracted overdraft in the amount and for the period approved in accordance with the Bank - max. up to 7.000 EUR
  4. The possibility of using on-line banking (m-zaba and e-zaba)

Arrangement

A current account in EUR may be activated by any natural person in accordance with the Agreement on Transactions, regardless of whether they have regular incoming payments.

Persons lacking legal capacity (minors and adults lacking legal capacity) may open a current account in EUR through their legal representative/guardian regardless of the Agreement on Transactions.

The account may be opened in any branch of Zagrebačka banka. For its opening, you only need to present a valid identification document (ID card or passport) and an OIB certificate, if it is not listed on the ID.

It is currently not possible to enter into an Transaction service agreement via the mobile app for online banking.

It is very simple - just give the number of your current account in EUR to your employer (ask the Bank to give you an IBAN Certificate which you will give to your employer).

Security

Using the card is safer than carrying cash. When using the card for payments or cash withdrawal, you will need to enter a PIN (in certain countries, you may be required to sign the sales receipt). PIN is a secret identification number known only to the card holder. Therefore, it should be kept secret and it should not be written down on a paper near your card.

If you forget your card PIN, and you use online banking, you can check your card PIN any time in our mobile app (m-zaba).

The user is obliged to report a lost or stolen card immediately to the bank’s Contact Centre (24/7) via tel. 01 3789 789 and confirm the report in writing in nearest branch of the bank.

It is also possible to report a lost/stolen card in the nearest bank branch.

Please adhere to the following pieces of advice:

  • Remember the PIN and never write it down on the card or other documents
  • Destroy the old card (it will suffice to cut it through the magnetic stripe) after the expiration date
  • Do not communicate the PIN or card data EVER to ANYONE
  • Do not leave the card in visible places (in the car, in a cloakroom, in a hotel room, restaurant, etc.)
  • Make sure to check the transaction amount prior to payment
  • After the payment, verify that the card returned to you is really yours
  • Keep our address and telephone number handy to be able to quickly report a lost or stolen card.
