What is a bank account seizure?

Created by Amanda Gliszczyńska, Modified on Tue, 1 Oct at 3:37 PM by Amanda Gliszczyńska

A bank account seizure means that your account has been seized by an enforcement authority (e.g. bailiff, tax office, Social Security) and prevents you from freely disposing of the funds. In the notice sent to us, the enforcement authority indicates the amounts of the liability it has seized in your account. As a bank, we are required to add the interest and fees due to the enforcement authority.


The notice of seizure may have also gone to other banks where you have an account. This means that you may have a block on your account at Aion Bank and other banks.



Legal basis:


- judicial seizures articles 889-8934 of the Code of Civil Procedure


- Administrative seizures Articles 80-87 of the Law on Administrative Enforcement Proceedings.
