For sums above 20 florins, the depositor, in case he has no watchword must prove his own identity.
10.—Business in the Public Funds.
When the Savings account of a depositor's exceeds 1,000 florins, the Post Office Savings Bank is obliged to request the depositor by a registered letter to lessen the amount of his saved up capital.
If within a month after the request the depositor has not lessened the amount of his capital, there will at the expiration of the time, be bought on his account in the course of the day, bonds of the only stock issued in notes, to the amount of the sum required to reduce the account to 1,000 florins, in any case for the nominal sum at least of 200 florins.
The price of this purchase will be entered to the debit of the depositor's account as repayment; the bonds bought will remain under the care of the Post Office Savings Bank and a Stocks-book will be forwarded to the depositor.
A Depositor (Payer) who has in the Post Office Savings Bank an adequate sum at his disposal can at any time request the Office to make purchases for him in the Public Funds.
The request for the purchase is to be drawn up on Form No 22, and must, if the purchased stock is to remain at the Post Office Savings Bank contain a watchword. If the depositor already has a watchword in connection with his deposit book that watchword is to be inserted.
If a depositor cannot write he must make his mark and have it attested by a witness. If this witness is the same person who attested the depositor's mark on the counter-cheque and in the deposit book, then the request with the mark of the depositor and the signature of the witness can be sent without further delay to the Post Office Savings Bank. But if the signature of this witness cannot any longer be obtained, the depositor has to go to a Receiving Office and himself prove his own identity.
For the first purchase together with the request it is simply necessary to enclose the deposit-book; for each subsequent purchase the deposit-book and if it relates to deposited bonds the stock account-book also must be sent.
