Bonds we offer

Besides senior unsecured bonds, UniCredit Bank also offers the bank’s own issue of mortgage bonds.

As regards the gain calculation method, we offer the following bonds

  • Coupon and zero-coupon bonds
    • These bonds are securities with guaranteed gains paid out either at a certain interval or on a one time basis in the form of coupon payments, or is defined as the difference between the face value at maturity and the acquisition price for zero-coupon bonds.
  • Structured bonds
    • These bonds are investment securities which may yield better appreciation than common interest-bearing instruments. The interest yield, though, is not guaranteed and depends on the development of the underlying asset. The underlying asset may be shares, stock indexes, exchange rates, commodities, etc.

Other types of securities we offer

Investment certificates

UniCredit Bank is an issuer or an issuing agent of investment certificates. These investment securities, as structured bonds, potentially offer better appreciation. However, unlike structured bonds, they normally do not include a capital guarantee of the amount invested. This means that these investment instruments bear higher risk and are reserved only to a limited circle of investors.
