Social Comptabilism: The Cheque and Clearing Service in the Austrian Postal Savings Bank. Proposed Law laid before the Chamber of Representatives of Belgium
Solvay, Ernest
Postal savings banks; Postal savings banks -- Austria
The Post Office Savings Bank will keep separate the accounts and
administration of the Orders' (Cheque and Clearing) Service from those
of the Savings Service.
Participation in the Orders' (Cheque and Clearing) Service is also to
be allowed to persons who are not depositors in the Savings Service.
It will be granted on payment of a Guarantee-deposit, and of course if
the participant wishes he can enter the Clearing as well as the Cheque
Service.
In order to obtain permission to be a participant in the Orders'
Service the person wishing to enter has to ask for an account to be
opened and to pay in the Guarantee-deposit.
This request is to be made on one of the forms issued by the Post
Office Savings Bank, which are to be delivered gratuitously at all
post-offices and to be forwarded to Vienna post paid under an enclosure
containing the sum for the desired Cheque and Receipt books.
To the Post Office Savings Bank belongs the right to refuse a request
for admission as participant in the Orders' (Cheque and Clearing)
Service without giving reasons (§ 4 of the Law).
The Guarantee-deposit is to be paid within a month at any Receiving
Office after the grant of the said request by using a Receipt (Pay)
certificate.
The Post Office Savings Bank opens an account for each participant.
Deposit-books are no longer to be used in the Orders' (Cheque and
Clearing) Service.
§ 7.
The amount of the Guarantee-deposit will until further notice be fixed
at 100 florins.
The Guarantee-deposit will remain at the Post Office Savings Bank as
long as the holder of an account continues a participant in the Orders'
(Cheque and Clearing) Service. During participation in the Orders'
(Cheque and Clearing) Service, the Guarantee-deposit cannot be disposed
of and in case the participant should withdraw from the Service it can
only be paid back upon 15 days notice (§ 4 of the Law).
§ 8.
The deposits in the Orders' (Cheque and Clearing) Service, including
the Guarantee-deposit, will until further notice bear interest at 2 per
cent per annum. The interest begins from the 1^{st} or from the 16^{th}
of the month following the booking of the deposit, and terminates at
the expiration of the 15^{th} or from the last day of the month which
precedes the writing off from the account of the sum assigned for
payment.
Sums under one florin will not bear interest.
On the 31^{st} of December in every year the interest accruing will be
added to the capital and will in like manner bear interest.
In reckoning the interest every month will be regarded as thirty days.
§ 9.
The Post Office Savings Bank has always the right to give notice to a
participant to withdraw his Guarantee-deposit, with the result that
from the day the participant receives the notice he can no longer
dispose of the balance to his credit by way of cheques (§ 4 of the Law).
§ 10.
