What is a payment account?
A payment account can be opened via a payment institution or via an electronic money institution. This allows an individual or company to have an account with an IBAN without needing to go through a bank. In this case, a framework payment services contract is signed between the user and the establishment.
The payment account thus opened can only be used to carry out payment transactions (transfer, direct debit, card). It does not, for example, allow users to have a checkbook or be overdrawn.
The payment account with an IBAN allows you to efficiently manage day-to-day financial flows.
