8. Fee and commission income and expense

Significant accounting policies

Fee and commission income is generated from financial services provided by the Bank and are measured based on the remuneration specified in the contract with the client. Fee and commission income includes, among others: fees for granting loans (without schedules), for committing to grant a loan, fees for issuing cards, for card transactions, for servicing and selling investment and insurance products, for servicing bank accounts, for cash deposits and withdrawals, for trustee services, for securities operations and margins obtained on currency exchange transactions.

Fee and commision income and expense directly attributable to financial asset or financial liability origination with specific repayment schedules are accounted for using the effective interest rate and recognized in the profit and loss account under the item of interest income or expense and have been described above. The accounting policies relating to such income and expenses are described in Note 7.

Fee and commission income related to financial assets without specific repayment schedules (mainly overdrafts, working capital loans, credit card loans) and from the issuance, extension of the deadline, increase in the amount of guarantees and letters of credit, are amortised using the straight-line method over the life of the product to which they relate and are recognized in the income statement in the item ‘Fee and commission income’.

Commissions and fees for committing to grant loans that are most likely to be granted are deferred and, when the financial assets are initially recognized, they are settled using the effective interest rate or on a straight-line basis, depending on the type of loan they concern.

In the case of other fees and commissions related to financial services offered by the Group, a five-stage revenue recognition model is applied, i.e.:

  1. identyfying the contract,
  2. indication of the elements (individual obligations) contained in the contract,
  3. determinig the price,
  4. allocating the price to individual element of the contract,
  5. recognition of revenue after meeting the conditions related to individual elements of the contract.

The Group applies the above model each time and recognizes income from commissions and fees:

  1. once (when a service has been performed and control over the service has been transferred to the other party to the contract),
  2. over time, when the service is provided over a period of time

The above settlement model is used primarily for services such as: fees for issuing cards, for card transactions, for servicing and selling investment products, for servicing bank accounts, for cash deposits and withdrawals, for custody services, for securities operations and margins obtained on currency exchange transactions.

The accounting policies relating income and expenses from bancassurance are described in Note 7.
