Register of transaction accounts

MANAGEMENT OF THE REGISTER OF TRANSACTION ACCOUNTS BY AJPES FROM 1 JULY 2010

On 1 July 2010 the management of the Register of Transaction Accounts was taken over by the Agency of the Republic of Slovenia for Public Legal Records and Related Services (AJPES).

The new Payment Services and Systems Act (ZPlaSS, Official Gazette of the Republic of Slovenia, Nos. 58/09 and 34/10) sets out the arrangements for the transaction account register anew. On the basis of Article 143 of the ZPlaSS, the Register of Transaction Accounts is established and managed by AJPES, the powers and duties in connection with the management of the transaction account register being taken over by AJPES on 1 July 2010.

The Bank of Slovenia has acted as the manager of the transaction account register since its establishment. The arrangements for the Register of Transaction Accounts were defined in Articles 28 and 29 of the Payment Transactions Act (ZPlaP), and in secondary legislation issued on the basis of these two articles. During the transitional period, i.e. between 1 November 2009 and 1 July 2010, Register of Transaction Accounts was managed by the Bank of Slovenia.

From the 1 July 2010 the banks and the Public Payments Administration of the Republic of Slovenia are obliged to provide AJPES data for the management of the Register of Transaction Accounts.
