4.2.2 Payments to replenish a deposit account 

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. Replenishments are credited to the deposit account on the date on which the payment actually enters the EPO bank account.

Repayments of deposit account balances can only be remitted to the deposit account holder. For this purpose, the deposit account holder must send a signed request as an email attachment to the EPO at support@epo.org or complete the online contact form available on the EPO website and submit it together with with all bank details necessary for the transfer (point 5.2 ADA).
