#GemeinsamAllemGewachsen (together we are up to anything)

We stand up for war refugees from Ukraine and their helpers

We are deeply saddened that in the 21st century a brutal war of aggression is being waged in Europe. This attack on Ukraine has triggered great solidarity. There is also great sympathy and willingness to help among Sparkassen-Versicherung Sachsen and its employees. As an insurer, we also want to offer people in emergency situations and our customers comprehensive protection in these times of crisis.
Sparkassen-Versicherung Sachsen joins the support of the people from Ukraine and their helpers here in Germany and in Saxony. With the following offers, we want to do our part to ensure that people who have had to leave their homes out of fear for their lives are helped quickly and unbureaucratically. We also want to support those who stand by the refugees and provide humanitarian aid with offers of help.
Information on free insurance in the Saxon Sparkasse current account
  • Refugees who open their current account with a Saxon savings bank automatically have private liability insurance cover from Sparkassen-Versicherung Sachsen free of charge until 30 September 2022.

Motor insurance

  • Validity of Ukrainian driving licences

    All Ukrainians who hold a Ukrainian or an international driving licence may drive motor vehicles in Germany in the categories for which their driving licence has been issued, provided they are temporarily staying in Germany.

    Proof of motor vehicle liability insurance for Ukrainian cars

    Sparkassen-Versicherung Sachsen is also involved in the  joint assistance of German insurers to cover possible motor liability claims of uninsured Ukrainian passenger cars in Germany. This means that drivers of Ukrainian cars do not have to fear recourse, even if they cannot prove insurance coverage with the International Motor Insurance Card - "Grüne Karte" (Green Card). Thanks to the regulation according to the laws and standards in Germany, injured parties have financial security even if accidents are caused by uninsured Ukrainian cars. The  Deutsche Büro Grüne Karte takes care of the regulation. As a member company, Sparkassen-Versicherung Sachsen also contributes to this assistance.

Information for refugees from Ukraine
Information for helpers and those willing to help
  • The war in Ukraine has led to a continuous flight of Ukrainian citizens. Many of them had to leave their homes in a hurry and are now mostly in the countries bordering Ukraine. International organisations expect that in the coming weeks and months, due to the limited capacities of the neighbouring countries and the ongoing war, there will be a considerable movement of refugees to Germany as well. Many citizens want to help and get involved with those arriving. For this very valuable support, you will find some information here.
     

    Tips for donations

    Mit Geldspenden können Hilfsorganisationen die wichtigsten Notwendigkeiten kaufen und an Bedürftige weitergeben.

    In addition, there is the possibility to donate directly to aid organisations. Furthermore, wonderful regional initiatives are currently being created to provide targeted help. But beware: Currently many appeals for donations are being shared on social media such as Instagram, Facebook and the like. Avoid impulse donations at all costs. 
    Take a moment to check who is really behind the appeal for donations and whether the money is actually reaching an aid organisation. This blog article can help you with that.
