If you do not want to pay on-line by credit card you can pay by bank transfer:

  • Bank: Fio banka, 11721 Praha 1, Czech Republic
  • BIC (=SWIFT): FIOBCZPPXXX
  • IBAN: CZ1520100000002800595750
  • Account owner: Oddil OB Kotlarka

Always write the name of your club and your name to the “Reason for payment” section. You can look up exchange rates on the the web page of our bank (https://www.fio.cz/stocks-investments/other-fio-services/foreign-exchange). Calculate the correct amount in your currency by dividing the amount in CZK by the exchange rate in column "We buy". If you send your money using "Shared Fees", be so kind and add 1 EUR for bank fees as we have to pay for your money transfer if you pay in EUR. If you pay in any other currency add 4 EUR. There are no additional fees from Slovakia.

By national bank transfer

If you have the option, you can also pay through a Czech bank. In this case you have to send us the exact sum in CZK, we do not pay any fees for national transfers. In this case contact organizer to get exact instructions.
