Question

What are the requirements to operate as a payment initiation service provider?

Published: 26 September 2017

Answer:

Businesses wishing to provide payment initiation services must hold a licence1 for payment service 7 as referred to in Annex 1 to PSD2. It is not possible to conduct these activities under an exemption as may be the case for certain other payment services.

Licence applications must be submitted through the Digital Supervision Portal.
