The accounts provided for in article L. 3262-2 are cash deposit accounts entitled “meal voucher accounts”.
Subject to the provisions of articles L. 3262-4 and L. 3262-5, they may only be debited to the benefit of persons or organisations practising the profession of restaurant owner, hotel owner-restaurateur or a similar activity, or the profession of fruit and vegetable retailer.
The specialised issuers mentioned in 2° of article L. 3262-1, who have not deposited in advance in their meal voucher account the amount of the value in full discharge of the meal vouchers that they transfer to employers, may only receive from the latter, in return for this value, payments made to the credit of their account, to the exclusion of cash, bills or securities of any kind.
