Question referred

Must Article4(14) of Directive 2007/64/EC¹ on payment services in the internal market (the Payment Services Directive) be interpreted as meaning that an online savings account with which a customer (without notice and without any particular involvement of the bank) may by way of telebanking make deposits into and withdrawals from a reference account (a current account in Austria) held in his name is also to be included within the term ‘payment account’ (Article4(14) of that directive) and thus falls within the scope of that directive?
