REGULATION (EU) 2020/2011 OF THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK

of 1 December 2020

amending Regulation (EU) No 1409/2013 on payments statistics (ECB/2013/43) (ECB/2020/59)

The GOVERNING COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 127(2) thereof,

Having regard to the Statute of the European System of Central Banks and of the European Central Bank, and in particular Article 5 thereof,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2533/98 of 23 November 1998 concerning the collection of statistical information by the European Central Bank (1), and in particular Articles 5(1) and 6(4) thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | Information relating to payments and payment systems statistics collected pursuant to Article 2(1) of Regulation (EC) No 2533/98 is essential for identifying and monitoring developments in the payments markets within the Member States. The European Central Bank (ECB) collects country-specific and comparative payments statistics so that it is able to fulfil its task of promoting the smooth operation of payment systems in the Union and thus helps contribute to the smooth conduct of policies relating to the prudential supervision of credit institutions and the stability of the financial system. |

(1)

Information relating to payments and payment systems statistics collected pursuant to Article 2(1) of Regulation (EC) No 2533/98 is essential for identifying and monitoring developments in the payments markets within the Member States. The European Central Bank (ECB) collects country-specific and comparative payments statistics so that it is able to fulfil its task of promoting the smooth operation of payment systems in the Union and thus helps contribute to the smooth conduct of policies relating to the prudential supervision of credit institutions and the stability of the financial system.

| (2) | Given that payments are effected by means of payment instruments and processed by payment systems, collecting statistical information on payment instruments is necessary to ensure the smooth operation of the systems through which they pass. In addition, as standards in respect of payment instruments are determined by payment schemes, the collection of statistical information concerning the operation of payment schemes is necessary to contribute to the smooth functioning of those payment systems. For these purposes, the ECB requires statistical information on an annual and on an semi-annual basis. Therefore, the reporting frequency should be increased. |

For these purposes, the ECB requires statistical information on an annual and on an semi-annual basis. Therefore, the reporting frequency should be increased.

| (3) | In light of the interconnection between payment instruments and payment systems, the smooth operation of payment systems is dependent on public confidence in payment instruments. Financial loss due to fraud undermines public confidence in payment instruments and it is therefore important to adopt measures that ensure that payment instruments are secure and that their users and the payment systems through which such payments pass are also secure. It is therefore duly justified to monitor the levels of fraud, and the means by which such fraud is carried out, to ensure the safety, security and efficiency of those instruments, thereby ensuring their smooth operation. |

It is therefore duly justified to monitor the levels of fraud, and the means by which such fraud is carried out, to ensure the safety, security and efficiency of those instruments, thereby ensuring their smooth operation.

| (4) | Directive (EU) 2015/2366 of the European Parliament and of the Council (2) requires Member States to ensure that payment service providers (PSPs) provide their competent authorities, at least on an annual basis, statistical information on fraud relating to different means of payment. Detail on this statistical information, as well as the aggregated data that the competent authorities have to share with the EBA and the ECB is provided in the EBA Guidelines on reporting requirements for fraud data (3). As the EBA Guidelines focus on the reporting of data that are relevant mostly for supervisory purposes, it is necessary to ensure that the statistical information available to the ECB will allow it to effectively perform its oversight tasks, for example, by accurately monitoring trends in new payment services, formulating policies in rapidly-evolving retail payment markets and assessing the degree of safety and efficiency of the payment instruments to mitigate the specific risks (e.g. financial and operational risks) relating to the individual payment schemes. As a consequence, more detailed reporting of information on fraud should be required. Reporting agents should therefore report not only statistical information on fraud per payment instrument (e.g. card-based payment instruments, credit transfers, direct debits) as foreseen by the EBA Guidelines, but should also report more detailed data on payment channels, payment schemes, cross border card-based payment transactions and country breakdowns. In order to simplify the reporting requirements for reporting agents, the frequency of reporting should correspond with the frequency of reporting under the EBA Guidelines. |

| (5) | For the same reasons and to ensure consistent reporting, the definitions and the methodology laid down in Regulation (EU) No 1409/2013 of the European Central Bank (ECB/2013/43) (4) should be aligned with the definitions and the methodology laid down in Directive (EU) 2015/2366, as far as applicable for the purposes of ESCB tasks. |

| (6) | More generally the methodology according to which statistical information on payments and payment systems is collected should take account of developments in the legal framework for the regulation of payments within the Union. Any reform of the regulation of payments in the Union should therefore be taken into consideration when determining the methodology for the collection of statistical information concerning such payments. Accordingly, provisions in Directive (EU) 2015/2366 relating to additional payment services, payment initiation services, account information services and the licensing and supervision of new types of PSPs, payment initiation service providers and account information service providers should be taken into account to ensure that information in the area of payments and payment system statistics is complete. It is therefore necessary to collect information on the activities of these new PSPs and, in particular, on the services they provide, to understand the roles they perform in the economy. Existing reporting requirements should therefore be extended to include information relating to the activities of these new types of PSPs, as well as information relating to strong customer authentication and any exemptions to its application, so that the European System of Central Banks is able to fulfil its independent oversight tasks. |

| (7) | In order to monitor cross-border trade and improve the overall quality of the information required to compile balance of payments statistics, in particular on the item on travel, transport and the item on online trade in goods and services (e-commerce), further detail on card-based payment transactions is required. The collection of statistical information on the merchant’s sector of activity, by means of the merchant category code (MCC), and the collection of card-based payment transactions on a worldwide basis allows for an in-depth analysis of international payment transactions and an accurate allocation of payments across the various categories of goods and services. For the same reason, reporting agents should be required to report these statistics quarterly, and within shorter deadlines in order to enhance their relevance and utility and contribute to the compilation of quarterly balance of payments. |

In addition, NCBs should have the power to collect the necessary statistical information on payments via the relevant national competent authority (NCA) that already collects data from reporting agents, in accordance with local cooperation arrangements. Equally, it should be possible for the confidential statistical information on fraud collected under this Regulation to be transmitted to an NCA to facilitate the data collection under Directive (EU) 2015/2366, provided that the rules for the protection and use of confidential statistical information in Regulation (EC) No 2533/98 are met. |

ANNEX I

GENERAL STRUCTURE OF PAYMENTS STATISTICS

PART 1

Overview

Part 1.1   Overview of tables

| 1. | Payments statistics are compiled by the European Central Bank (ECB) through specific harmonised data collections managed at national level by each national central bank (NCB). The data compilation is structured in the form of nine tables as described below containing national data on each Member State whose currency is the euro (hereinafter a ‘euro area Member State’). Tables 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 9 should be reported by payment service providers (PSPs), while Tables 7 and 8 should be reported by payment system operators (PSOs). There are two versions of Tables 4 and 5, only one of which should be reported. Tables 4a and 5a should be reported by all PSPs which have not been granted a derogation pursuant to Article 4, whereas reporting agents which have been granted a derogation pursuant to Article 4(2) and (3) should report the statistical information in Tables 4b and 5b.






  Table | Description of main contents |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Table 1:
  Institutions offering payment services to non-monetary financial institutions (non-MFIs) | Breakdowns showing number of overnight deposits, number of payment accounts, number of e-money accounts and outstanding value on e-money storages issued, by credit institutions, electronic money institutions, payment institutions and other payment service providers (PSPs) and e-money issuers. In addition, breakdowns showing the number of clients of account information service providers (AISPs) and the number of accounts accessed by AISPs are included. The number of accounts accessed by AISPs is reported by the ASPSP while the AISPs report the number of their clients. |
| Table 2:

Part 1.3   Consolidation within the same national territory

| 1. | For each euro area Member State, the reporting population consists of PSPs and PSOs. |
| --- | --- |

1.

| 2. | PSPs are institutions incorporated and located in that territory, including subsidiaries of parent companies located outside that territory, and branches of institutions that have their head office outside that territory.






  (a) | Subsidiaries are separate incorporated entities in which another entity has a majority or full holding. |
| --- | --- | --- |

2.

(a)

Subsidiaries are separate incorporated entities in which another entity has a majority or full holding.

| (b) | Branches are unincorporated entities without independent legal status wholly owned by the parent. |
| --- | --- |

(b)

Branches are unincorporated entities without independent legal status wholly owned by the parent.

| 3. | For statistical purposes, the following principles apply for consolidation of PSPs within national boundaries:






  (a) | If a parent company and its subsidiaries are PSPs located in the same national territory, the parent company is permitted in its statistical returns to consolidate the business of these subsidiaries. This is only applicable in the event that the parent company and its subsidiaries are classified as the same type of PSP. |
| --- | --- | --- |

3.

(a)

If a parent company and its subsidiaries are PSPs located in the same national territory, the parent company is permitted in its statistical returns to consolidate the business of these subsidiaries. This is only applicable in the event that the parent company and its subsidiaries are classified as the same type of PSP.

| (b) | If an institution has branches located within the territories of the other euro area Member States, the registered or head office located in a given euro area Member State considers these branches as residents in the other euro area Member States. Conversely, a branch located in a given euro area Member State considers the registered or head office or other branches of the same institution located within the territories of the other euro area Member States as residents in the other euro area Member States. |
| --- | --- |

(b)

If an institution has branches located within the territories of the other euro area Member States, the registered or head office located in a given euro area Member State considers these branches as residents in the other euro area Member States. Conversely, a branch located in a given euro area Member State considers the registered or head office or other branches of the same institution located within the territories of the other euro area Member States as residents in the other euro area Member States.

| (c) | If an institution has branches located outside the territory of the euro area Member States, the registered or head office located in a given euro area Member State considers these branches as residents of the rest of the world. Conversely, a branch located in a given euro area Member State considers the registered or head office or other branches of the same institution located outside the euro area Member States as residents of the rest of the world. |
| --- | --- |

(c)

If an institution has branches located outside the territory of the euro area Member States, the registered or head office located in a given euro area Member State considers these branches as residents of the rest of the world. Conversely, a branch located in a given euro area Member State considers the registered or head office or other branches of the same institution located outside the euro area Member States as residents of the rest of the world.

| 4. | For statistical purposes, consolidation of PSPs across national boundaries is not permitted. |
| --- | --- |

4.

| 5. | If a PSO is responsible for several payment systems located in the same national territory, statistics for each payment system are reported separately. |
| --- | --- |

5.

| 6. | Institutions located in offshore financial centres are treated for statistical purposes as residents of the territories in which the centres are located. |

PART 2

Specific features in Tables 2 to 9

Part 2.1   Card functions (Table 2)

| 1. | If a ‘card with a payment function (except cards with an e-money function only)’ offers several functions, it is counted in each applicable sub-category. Therefore, the total number of cards with a payment function may be smaller than the sum of the sub-categories. To avoid double-counting, sub-categories should not be added up. |
| --- | --- |

1.

| 2. | Within each payment function (i.e. debit, delayed debit and credit), card-based payment instruments are broken down according to the payment card scheme (PCS) under which they are issued. Co-badged card-based payment instruments are counted in each of the applicable schemes. Therefore, the total number of card-based payment instruments by payment function may be smaller than the sum of those cards by PCS. To avoid double-counting, cards by PCS should not be combined. |
| --- | --- |

2.

| 3. | A ‘delayed debit card’ is reported as a ‘credit card’ if the specific ‘delayed debit’ function cannot be identified. The same logic applies to the reporting of transactions with a delayed debit card. |
| --- | --- |

3.

| 4. | A ‘card with an e-money function’ can be either a ‘card on which e-money can be stored directly’ or a ‘card which gives access to e-money stored on e-money accounts’. Therefore, the total number of cards with an e-money function is the sum of the two sub-categories. |
| --- | --- |

4.

| 5. | The total number of cards issued by resident PSPs is stated separately in ‘total number of cards (irrespective of the number of functions on the card)’. This indicator may not necessarily be the sum of ‘cards with a cash function’, ‘cards with a payment function’ and ‘cards with an e-money function’, as these categories may not be mutually exclusive. |
| --- | --- |

5.

| 6. | The indicator ‘card with a combined debit, cash and e-money function’ refers to a card issued by a PSP, which has combined cash, debit and e-money functions. In addition, it is reported in each of the sub-categories:






  (a) | ‘debit card’; |
| --- | --- | --- |

6.

(a)

‘debit card’;

| (b) | ‘cards with a cash function’; |
| --- | --- |

(b)

‘cards with a cash function’;

| (c) | ‘cards with an e-money function’. |
| --- | --- |

(c)

‘cards with an e-money function’.

| 7. | A card with combined functions is reported in each of the relevant sub-categories. |
| --- | --- |

7.

| 8. | Cards are counted on the card-issuing side regardless of the cardholder’s residency or the location of the account to which the card is linked. |
| --- | --- |

8.

| 9. | Each country reports the number of cards that have been issued by PSPs resident in the country. |
| --- | --- |

9.

| 10. | Cards in circulation are included irrespective of when they were issued or whether they were used. |
| --- | --- |

10.

| 11. | Cards issued by card schemes, i.e. three-party or four-party schemes, are included. |
| --- | --- |

11.

| 12. | Expired or withdrawn cards are not included. |
| --- | --- |

12.

| 13. | Cards issued by merchants, i.e. retailer cards, are not included, unless they have been issued in cooperation with a PSP, i.e. they are co-branded. |
| --- | --- |

13.

Part 2.2   Card accepting devices (Table 3)

| 1. | All physical terminals at which transactions are acquired by resident PSPs are reported, including all terminals located in the reporting country and terminals located outside of the reporting country. |
| --- | --- |

1.

| 2. | Terminals at which transactions are acquired by branches and/or subsidiaries of the PSP located abroad are not reported by the parent PSP, but by the branches and/or subsidiaries themselves. |
| --- | --- |

2.

| 3. | Every terminal is counted individually even if several terminals of the same type exist at one merchant location. |
| --- | --- |

3.

| 4. | If an ATM offers more than one function, it is counted in each applicable sub-category. Therefore, the total number of ATMs may be smaller than the sum of the sub-categories. To avoid double-counting, sub-categories should not be added up. |
| --- | --- |

4.

| 5. | POS terminals are broken down into ‘EFTPOS terminals’ and within this breakdown by those ‘accepting contactless transactions’ and those ‘accepting e-money card transactions’. These sub-categories should not be added up as they are not mutually exclusive. |
| --- | --- |

5.

| 6. | If an e-money card terminal offers more than one function, it is counted in each applicable sub-category. Therefore, the total number of e-money card terminals may be smaller than the sum of the sub-categories. To avoid double-counting, sub-categories should not be added up. |
| --- | --- |

6.

Part 2.3   Payment transactions involving non-MFIs (Tables 4a and 4b)

Part 2.3.1   Payment transactions involving non-MFIs (Table 4a)

| 1. | Payment transactions are initiated by non-MFIs to any counterparty or by PSPs if the counterparty is a non-MFI. This includes:






  (a) | payment transactions which take place between two accounts held at different PSPs and which are executed with the use of an intermediary, i.e. where payments are sent to another PSP or to a payment system; and |
| --- | --- | --- |

1.

(a)

payment transactions which take place between two accounts held at different PSPs and which are executed with the use of an intermediary, i.e. where payments are sent to another PSP or to a payment system; and

| (b) | payment transactions which take place between two accounts held at the same PSP, e.g. on-us transactions, with the transaction being settled either on the accounts of the PSP itself, or with the use of an intermediary, i.e. another PSP or a payment system. |
| --- | --- |

(b)

payment transactions which take place between two accounts held at the same PSP, e.g. on-us transactions, with the transaction being settled either on the accounts of the PSP itself, or with the use of an intermediary, i.e. another PSP or a payment system.

| 2. | Payment transactions initiated by a resident PSP and executed with a specific transaction order, i.e. with the use of a payment instrument, are included as ‘payment transactions involving non-MFIs ’. |
| --- | --- |

2.

| 3. | Fund transfers between accounts in the same name, and also between different types of accounts are included according to the payment service used. Transfers between different types of accounts include, for example, transfers from a transferable deposit to an account holding a non-transferable deposit. |
| --- | --- |

3.

| 4. | In relation to bulk payment transactions, each individual payment transaction is counted. |
| --- | --- |

4.

| 5. | Payment transactions denominated in foreign currency are included. Data are converted into euro using the ECB reference exchange rate or exchange rates applied for these transactions. |
| --- | --- |

5.

| 6. | Separate reporting for remote and non-remote transactions is indicated where necessary. |
| --- | --- |

6.

| 7. | Payment transactions initiated by a resident PSP and executed without a specific transaction order, i.e. without the use of a payment service listed in Annex I to Directive (EU) 2015/2366, by simple book entry on the account of a non-MFI, are included in ‘other services (not included in the Directive (EU) 2015/2366)’ (1). |
| --- | --- |

7.

| 8. | Payment transactions are reported broken down by the payment service used and by the scheme processing the transaction. |
| --- | --- |

8.

Cross-border transactions

| 9. | For sent transactions, cross-border transactions are counted in the country in which the transaction originates. |
| --- | --- |

9.

| 10. | For received transactions, cross-border transactions are counted in the country in which the transaction is received. |
| --- | --- |

10.

| 11. | For cross-border card-based payment transactions, the residency of the counterpart and the location of the POS are reported together. For card-based payment transactions initiated remotely, sent payment transactions are reported to identify the country of the receiving PSP and the country in which the point of sale is located. For card-based payment transactions initiated non-remotely, sent payment transactions are reported to identify the country of the receiving PSP and the country in which the physical terminal is located. Received payment transactions initiated remotely are reported to identify the country of the sending PSP and the country in which the point of sale is located. Received payment transactions initiated non-remotely are reported to identify the country of the sending PSP and the country in which the physical point of sale is located. |
| --- | --- |

11.

| 12. | The difference between cross-border transactions sent and cross-border transactions received shows the net inflow or outflow of transactions into or out of the reporting country. |
| --- | --- |

12.

Flow of funds

| 13. | The direction of the flow of funds depends on the payment service and the initiation channel used:






  (a) | for credit transfers, money remittances, e-money payments and similar transactions where the payer initiates the transaction, the sending participant is also the sender of funds and the receiving participant the recipient of funds; |
| --- | --- | --- |

13.

(a)

for credit transfers, money remittances, e-money payments and similar transactions where the payer initiates the transaction, the sending participant is also the sender of funds and the receiving participant the recipient of funds;

| (b) | for direct debits, cheques, e-money payments and similar transactions where the payee initiates the transaction, the sending participant is the recipient of funds and the receiving participant the sender of funds; |
| --- | --- |

(b)

for direct debits, cheques, e-money payments and similar transactions where the payee initiates the transaction, the sending participant is the recipient of funds and the receiving participant the sender of funds;

| (c) | for card-based payment transactions, although the payee initiates the transaction, the treatment followed within this Regulation corresponds to that where the payer initiates the transaction. |
| --- | --- |

(c)

for card-based payment transactions, although the payee initiates the transaction, the treatment followed within this Regulation corresponds to that where the payer initiates the transaction.

Total payment transactions

| 14. | The indicator ‘total payment transactions involving non-MFIs (sent)’ is the sum of the eight mutually exclusive sub-categories: ‘credit transfers (sent)’, ‘direct debits (sent)’, ‘card-based payment transactions with card-based payment instruments issued by resident PSPs’, ‘cash withdrawals using card-based payment instruments’, ‘e-money payment transactions (sent)’, ‘cheques (sent)’, ‘money remittances (sent)’ and ‘other payment services (sent)’. The indicator ‘total payment transactions involving non-MFIs (received)’ is the sum of the seven mutually exclusive sub-categories: ‘credit transfers (received)’, ‘direct debits (received)’, ‘card-based payment transactions acquired by resident PSPs’, ‘e-money payment transactions (received)’, ‘cheques (received)’, ‘money remittances (received)’ and ‘other payment services (received)’. |
| --- | --- |

14.

Credit transfers

| 15. | Each transaction is allocated to only one sub-category, i.e. either ‘initiated in paper-based form’, ‘initiated electronically’ or ‘other’. As the sub-categories are mutually exclusive, the total number of credit transfers is the sum of the sub-categories. The same principle applies to the total value of credit transfers. |
| --- | --- |

15.

| 16. | Credit transfers initiated by payment initiation service providers (PISPs) are additionally allocated to the sub-category ‘Initiated by PISP’. However, this sub-category does not contribute to the total number, or total value of credit transfers. |
| --- | --- |

16.

| 17. | Credit transfers reported under ‘initiated electronically’ are further split into ‘initiated in a file/batch’ and ‘initiated on a single payment basis’. As the sub-categories are mutually exclusive, the total number of credit transfers initiated electronically is the sum of the sub-categories. The same principle applies to the total value of credit transfers initiated electronically. |
| --- | --- |

17.

| 18. | Credit transfers reported under ‘initiated on a single payment basis’ are further broken down by ‘ATM or other PSP terminal’, ‘mobile payment solution’ and ‘online banking based credit transfers’. ‘ATM or other PSP terminal’ only includes non-remotely initiated credit transfers while ‘mobile payment solution’ and ‘online banking based credit transfers’ only include remotely initiated credit transfers. As the sub-categories are mutually exclusive, the total number of credit transfers is the sum of the sub-categories. The same principle applies to the total value of credit transfers. |
| --- | --- |

18.

| 19. | ‘E-commerce payments’ is a sub-category of ‘online banking based credit transfers’. |
| --- | --- |

19.

| 20. | ‘P2P mobile payment solution’ is a sub-category of ‘mobile payment solution’. |
| --- | --- |

20.

| 21. | Transactions involving cash at one or both ends of the payment transaction, and using a credit transfer payment service, are also included as credit transfers. |
| --- | --- |

21.

| 22. | Credit transfers used to settle outstanding balances of transactions using credit, debit or delayed debit cards are also included. |
| --- | --- |

22.

| 23. | Credit transfers include all Single Euro Payments Area (SEPA) credit transfers as well as non-SEPA transactions. Credit transfers initiated electronically are reported separately for each scheme. |
| --- | --- |

23.

| 24. | Credit transfers initiated electronically are further split into credit transfers initiated remotely and credit transfers initiated non-remotely. Within these breakdowns, transactions are reported by scheme and for each scheme, they are further broken down by authentication channel, i.e. ‘authenticated via strong customer authentication (SCA)’ or ‘authenticated via non-SCA’. As the sub-categories are mutually exclusive, the total number of credit transfers by credit transfer scheme is the sum of the sub-categories. The same principle applies to the value of transactions. |
| --- | --- |

24.

| 25. | For transactions authenticated via non-SCA, the reasons for using non-SCA are reported (i.e. ‘low value’, ‘contactless low value’, ‘payment to self’, ‘trusted beneficiaries’, ‘recurring transaction’, ‘unattended terminals for transport fares or parking fees’, ‘secure corporate payment processes and protocols’ and ‘transaction risk analysis’). Where more than one exemption might be applicable the exemption that was applied is the one that should be reported. The sub-categories are mutually exclusive. The same principle applies to the value of transactions. However, the reasons for using non-SCA are not reported broken down by payment scheme but are broken down by remotely and non-remotely initiated credit transfers only. |
| --- | --- |

25.

| 26. | The number of transactions broken down by credit transfer schemes is equal to the total number of credit transfers initiated electronically. Transactions are reported for each scheme, national and international (e.g. SEPA credit transfer scheme or SEPA instant credit transfer scheme) separately. The same principle applies to the value of credit transfers. |
| --- | --- |

26.

| 27. | The sub-categories ‘initiated in a file/batch’, ‘initiated on a single payment basis’ and ‘other’ contain all SEPA and non-SEPA transactions. |
| --- | --- |

27.

| 28. | Domestic transactions sent, cross-border transactions sent, domestic transactions received and cross-border transactions received contain both SEPA and non-SEPA transactions. |
| --- | --- |

28.

| 29. | Cash payments to an account using a bank form are not included under credit transfers. |
| --- | --- |

29.

Direct debits

| 30. | Both one-off and recurrent direct debits are included. In the case of recurrent direct debits, each individual payment is counted as one transaction. |
| --- | --- |

30.

| 31. | Direct debits used to settle outstanding balances resulting from transactions using credit, debit or delayed debit cards are included, as these are separate payments from the cardholder to the card issuer. |
| --- | --- |

31.

| 32. | Direct debits are further split into ‘initiated in a file/ batch’ and ‘initiated on a single payment basis’. As the sub-categories are mutually exclusive, the total number of direct debits is the sum of the sub-categories. The same principle applies to the total value of direct debits. |
| --- | --- |

32.

| 33. | The sub-categories ‘initiated in a file/ batch’ and ‘initiated on a single payment basis’ contain all SEPA and non-SEPA transactions. |
| --- | --- |

33.

| 34. | Direct debit transactions are further split into ‘consent given via an electronic mandate’ and ‘consent given in other forms’. The sub-categories are mutually exclusive. Their sum equals the total number of direct debits. The same principle applies to the value of direct debits. |
| --- | --- |

34.

| 35. | Within each channel used to give consent, transactions are reported for each scheme, national and international (e.g. SEPA direct debit core or SEPA direct debit business-to-business scheme) separately. |
| --- | --- |

35.

| 36. | Cash payments from an account using a bank form are not included under direct debits. |
| --- | --- |

36.

Card-based payment transactions

| 37. | Card-based payment transactions with card-based payment instruments issued by resident PSPs or acquired by resident PSPs (except cards with an e-money function only) are reported, regardless of the location of the payment brand under which the card-based payment transaction has been made. |
| --- | --- |

37.

| 38. | Sent card-based payment transactions are reported by the issuing PSP while received card-based payment transactions are reported by the acquiring PSP. |
| --- | --- |

38.

| 39. | ‘Payment transactions involving non-MFIs’ also includes data on card-based payment transactions at virtual points of sale, e.g. over the internet or the telephone. |
| --- | --- |

39.

| 40. | Card-based payment transactions are also split into: ‘initiated electronically’ and ‘initiated non-electronically’. As the initiation channels are mutually exclusive, the total number of card-based payment transactions is the sum of the initiation channels. The same principle applies to the total value of card-based payment transactions. |
| --- | --- |

40.

| 41. | ‘Initiated electronically’ is further broken down into ‘mobile payment solution’, ‘initiated at a physical EFTPOS’, ‘initiated at an ATM’ and ‘others’. ‘Initiated at a physical EFTPOS’ and ‘initiated at an ATM’ only include non-remotely initiated card-based payment transactions while ‘mobile payment solution’ only includes remotely initiated card-based payment transactions. The breakdown ‘others’ can include either remotely or non-remotely initiated card-based payment transactions. The sub-channels are mutually exclusive. The same principle applies to the total value of card-based payment transactions ‘initiated electronically’. |
| --- | --- |

41.

| 42. | Card-based payment transactions initiated non-electronically and those initiated electronically are further broken down between remote and non-remote initiation channels and within each, for card-based payment transactions initiated electronically, the number of card-based payment transactions should be reported for each PCS, national and international (e.g. VISA or MasterCard) separately. The same principle applies to the value of transactions. |
| --- | --- |

42.

| 43. | Within each PCS, transactions are broken down by card function (i.e. debit, delayed debit and credit) and by ‘authenticated via SCA’ and ‘authenticated via non-SCA’. The total number of card-based payment transactions ‘processed by payment card scheme’ is the sum of the different, mutually exclusive, card functions, which is also equal to the sum of those transactions authenticated via SCA and via non-SCA. The same principle applies to the value of transactions. |
| --- | --- |

43.

| 44. | The number of sent transactions broken down by PCS is equal to the total number of card-based payment transactions with cards issued by resident PSPs initiated electronically. The same principle applies to the value of transactions and to card-based payment transactions acquired by resident PSPs (received). |
| --- | --- |

For card-based payment transactions initiated remotely, sent payment transactions are reported to identify the country of the receiving PSP and the country in which the point of sale is located. For card-based payment transactions initiated non-remotely, sent payment transactions are reported to identify the country of the receiving PSP and the country in which the physical terminal is located. Received payment transactions initiated remotely are reported to identify the country of the sending PSP and the country in which the point of sale is located. Received payment transactions initiated non-remotely are reported to identify the country of the sending PSP and the country in which the physical point of sale is located
