Payments to replenish a deposit account are to be made in euro to the EPO bank account. Payments in a different currency will only be accepted if freely convertible. However, the deposit account will always be credited in euro (the only currency in which these accounts are kept) after conversion at the current rate of exchange.[]

Repayments of deposit account balances can only be remitted to the deposit account holder. For this purpose, the deposit account holder must submit to the EPO a signed request containing all bank details necessary for the transfer. []
