Belgrade Electricity Bills: Pay to New Account 200-75409-96
Electricity payments had been going to an account at Alta Banka, which lost its license from the National Bank of Serbia. The EPS Uvid u racun app cannot take payments for now.
Starting with the October bill, electricity in Belgrade should be paid to current account 200-75409-96, Elektroprivreda Srbije (EPS) announced on Saturday, October 31. The change applies to households and small customers on guaranteed supply in the Belgrade area, and the new number also covers any debts from earlier months. The previous account was held at Alta Banka, which the National Bank of Serbia (NBS) has stripped of its operating license.
What changes for customers in Belgrade?
EPS says in its statement that the new account is meant for customers in the capital: “Customers on guaranteed supply in the Belgrade area need to use the new current account.” The statement does not mention customers outside Belgrade.
Anyone who pays through mobile or online banking, or has saved payment orders and templates, should enter the new account number before the next payment. The same goes for payment slips prepared earlier.
Paying through the “EPS Uvid u racun” app and portal is not possible for now. EPS says in the statement that “payment through the app will not be available in the coming period,” and gives no date for when the service returns. The company promises only a notice: “Users will be informed in good time when this service is restored.”
What happens to money paid into the old account?
After the NBS decision, consumers began asking what would happen to payments already made and whether they would have to pay their bills again. EPS told Blic Biznis:
Customers who made their payment to the old current account number have no reason to worry. All payments will be recorded in the EPS system. The payment will also be visible in the “EPS Uvid u racun” app.
Payments already made, in other words, do not need to be repeated. EPS did not give the old account number in its statement. The portal Kamatica reports that in 2025 EPS used account 190-99870-10 for electricity payments.
How did EPS end up with an account at Alta Banka?
EPS announced the move to an Alta Banka account in July 2025, replacing the treasury account it had used until then. According to the company’s statements from that period, the bank was chosen in a public call because it offered the lowest fee. Students in blockade responded at the time with a statement claiming that citizens paying for electricity were filling the coffers of a private bank and that an extra fee was being introduced.
According to Kamatica, the NBS register lists two dinar accounts for EPS at Alta Banka, opened on October 18, 2024 and August 26, 2025, along with one foreign currency account opened on August 26, 2025. Srbijagas, Elektrodistribucija Srbije, Elektromreza Srbije and Naftna industrija Srbije also hold accounts at the same bank. It has not been confirmed that citizens’ bills were collected through those accounts, and there is no data on their balances. Publicly available sources do not say how much money EPS or other state companies had at Alta Banka when the license was revoked.
When did the bank lose its license?
The NBS Executive Board made the decision to revoke the license on Friday, October 30, at an emergency session, and the public was informed through a post on the NBS website and on X at 2:34 a.m. on October 31. That post says the decision was made “at today’s session,” while four NBS vice governors state in their own statement that they learned the true condition of the bank only at the emergency session on Friday evening.
The NBS also set the conditions for opening bankruptcy proceedings and handed management of the bank to the Deposit Insurance Agency, which will be appointed bankruptcy administrator by court order. Alta Banka has suspended payment operations, payment cards and its branches. The agency has announced payouts of insured amounts up to 50,000 euros per depositor, with the terms and place of payout to be set after the court ruling.
