Account Information and Payment Initiation Services

The Payment Services Directive 2 identifies two types of payment providers that do not hold customer payment accounts which are Payment Initiation Service Providers (PISP) and Account Information Service Providers (AISP).

Payment Services

A payment transaction can only be considered to be authorized if you have given your consent to execute such a transaction. The way such consent is to be given has to be agreed upon in the contract between you and the payment provider.

Unauthorized Payments

Money can only be taken from your account if you have authorized the transaction. If you notice a payment out of your account which you did not authorize, you should contact your Bank immediately and claim a refund.

Debit and Credit Cards

You must keep your payment instruments (such as debit, credit card, and electronic key) in a safe place and notify the payment service provider when becoming aware of their loss, theft, misappropriation, or of its unauthorized use.
