The National Bank of Serbia revoked Alta Bank a.d. Belgrade’s operating licence on 30 October 2026, after supervisory checks and a temporary measure, the regulator said. It said the action aimed to protect depositors and other creditors and prevent negative effects from spreading to society and the economy.
Depositors will be informed as soon as possible which bank will handle withdrawals of their insured deposits, capped at 50,000 euros. The National Bank of Serbia also said they would be told how to submit other claims and obtain payment.
After insolvency proceedings began, Alta Bank issued a statement on the next steps and protection of depositors and creditors. “Institutions and insolvency bodies are taking necessary steps to protect depositors and creditors,” the bank said, adding that further legal procedures would follow Serbian regulations.
The bank said timely official updates on the proceedings would be published through its official communication channels. Those updates will include information on how clients and creditors can exercise their rights, as well as the methods and deadlines for doing so, it said.
