Frequently asked questions
This is the transfer of payments, direct debits and funds from the transferring payment service provider (the "Old Bank") to the receiving payment service provider (the "New Bank") with the option of canceling a payment account with the Old Bank.
Yes. The request can only request the transfer of some payment services or all payment services.
Of course. Transferring a payment account is not subject to opening a new account. The transfer of payment services from Old Bank can also be requested to an existing account in Tatra banka.
The payment account transfer service is intended for the consumer. When transferring a payment account, a person who employs less than ten persons at the time of the conclusion of the framework payment service contract and whose annual turnover or total annual balance sheet value does not exceed 2 000 000 EUR shall always be considered to be a consumer.
The transfer of a payment account can only be requested by a person who is an account holder in the Old Bank, or by another person on the basis of authorization by the account holder. If the account in the Old Bank has several owners, the transfer request must be signed by all owners.
