Debiting the deposit account

 

The debit order must contain particulars necessary to identify the purpose of the payment and must indicate the number of the account which is to be debited. The Boards of Appeal have decided that a debit order must be carried out notwithstanding incorrect information given in it if the intention of the person giving the order is clear (see T 152/82, OJ 7/1984, 301). Debiting occurs on the basis of a written debit order signed by the account holder. Debit orders may also be filed online via My.epoline®, on diskette or by facsimile, in which case no written confirmation (or signature, in the case of online filing) is required.
