Consultation good practices sub-merchants

Supervision consultation

De Nederlandsche Bank N.V. (DNB) has prepared this good practices document to provide payment institutions and electronic money institutions (hereafter: PIs and EMIs or institutions) with guidance on how to manage risks related to the provision of services (directly or indirectly) to sub-merchants. This good practices document contains guidance on the SIRA as well as policy and procedures regarding customer due diligence and transaction monitoring in relation to sub-merchants.

Supervision consultation closed

This Supervision consultation is closed. It is no longer possible to respond.

DNB observed that the institutions have been increasingly setting up different constructions with their clients in order to provide services to sub-merchants. Therefore, in 2022, we conducted a thematic examination into selected PIs and EMIs that use different partnership constructions to offer payment services to sub-merchants to gain insight into the integrity risks associated with this practice. In addition, we investigated which control measures the selected institutions had implemented in order to mitigate the associated integrity risks. Risk management always requires customisation. This also applies to the risks associated with sub-merchants. The examples presented in this good practices document will not always be directly applicable to every institution.
