EPS new account 200-75409-96 applies only to Belgrade
Serbia's power utility EPS says the new electricity payment account applies only to the Belgrade regional center, while customers in Novi Sad, Nis, Kraljevo and Kragujevac pay as before.
The current account 200-75409-96 for paying electricity applies only to residential and small customers in the Belgrade regional center, Elektroprivreda Srbije (EPS) says in instructions posted on its Instagram account. The change applies from the October 2026 bills, while customers in the other regional centers change nothing.
The reason is the National Bank of Serbia’s decision to revoke the operating license of Alta Banka a.d. Belgrade. EPS customers in Belgrade used to pay for electricity through an account held at that bank. We have already published the new account number in an earlier article on paying electricity in Belgrade, and the instructions now spell out who uses it and who does not.
Who pays to the new account, and who to the old one?
The split follows EPS regional centers. Customers in Belgrade use the new number. For everyone else, the instructions say:
All other residential and small customers, in the regional centers of Novi Sad, Nis, Kraljevo and Kragujevac, continue to settle their obligations as before.
In other words, the instructions name four regional centers where nothing changes. Anyone paying for electricity in Novi Sad, Nis, Kraljevo or Kragujevac carries on the same way as before and does not need to enter the new account.
How are old debts paid?
Belgrade residents with unpaid bills from earlier months pay them to the same new account, 200-75409-96. The old number no longer works for that. EPS states in the instructions:
When paying a debt to the new current account number 200-75409-96, use the reference number from the bill on which that debt is shown. We remind you that the reference number changes every month, because the last four digits of the reference number indicate the year and month of the billing period.
For a debt from a particular month, then, take the reference number from the bill for that month, not from the latest bill. Before confirming the payment order, compare the last four digits with the billing period on the bill being settled.
What happens to payments made to the old account?
Customers who have already paid to the previous account number have no reason to worry, EPS says. The company states in its post: “All customer payments will be recorded in the EPS system.”
What should customers who do not pay at the counter do?
The instructions separate two payment methods that rely on a saved account number:
- online and mobile banking: in the saved template, replace the old number with the new one, 200-75409-96
- standing order: a customer in Belgrade should contact their bank and ask for the current account number to be replaced for future electricity bill payments
Customers will be notified of the new account number on the October 2026 bill, where the new payment details will be printed.
