            COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2025/1979
of 1 October 2025
         
laying down implementing technical standards for the application of Regulation (EU) No 260/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to uniform reporting templates, instructions and methodology for the reporting of the level of charges for credit transfers, instant credit transfers and payment accounts, and the share of rejected transactions


THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,


Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 260/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 14 March 2012 establishing technical and business requirements for credit transfers and direct debits in euro and amending Regulation (EC) No 924/2009 (1), and in particular Article 15(5), third subparagraph thereof,

Whereas:







(1)


The reporting on the level of charges pursuant to Article 15(3) of Regulation (EU) No 260/2012 should enable the Commission to assess the impact of the rule on charges levied for instant credit transfers, as laid down in Article 5b(1) of that Regulation, on the charges for payment accounts, both for national and cross-border credit transfers, and for instant credit transfers in euro and in the national currency of the Member States whose currency is not the euro. Charges levied by payment service providers (PSPs) for credit transfers, including instant credit transfers, typically vary depending on the features of the credit transfer concerned. Such features may be whether the payment service user (PSU) is the payer or the payee, a consumer or not, or the type of payment initiation channel. The reporting on credit transfers sent should therefore include breakdowns by domestic and cross-border transfers, type of PSU and payment initiation channel.












(2)


PSPs may choose to set charges on a per transaction basis either in nominal terms or as a percentage of the value of the transaction. PSPs may also opt for alternative charging structures, including tiered pricing based on different bands of the transaction value or approaches that have a certain number of transactions per month for free beyond which a charge per transaction is applied. It would be undesirable that such heterogeneity of commercial practices results in the circumvention of the aim of the rule on the charges for instant credit transfers laid down in Article 5b(1) of Regulation (EU) No 260/2012. The methodology for reporting the information on the level of charges for regular and instant credit transfers should enable the Commission to evaluate the information provided by PSPs in a uniform and comparable manner at the level of a PSP over time and among different PSPs at a given point in time, despite the different charging methods used by PSPs. The reporting should therefore contain the information on the total aggregated charges, volume and value of credit transfers, including instant credit transfers, in the national currency. The reporting on credit transfers, both sent and received, should also include a breakdown by free and paid-for credit transfers.












(3)


PSPs should comply with their reporting obligation as laid down in Article 15(3) of Regulation (EU) No 260/2012 at entity level. To align with the approach of reporting of payment statistics to the ECB, branches of PSPs located in Member States other than Member States of their parent entities should submit their data to the competent authority of the host Member State, and parent entities should report for themselves to the competent authority of their home Member State.












(4)


PSPs located in Member States whose currency is not the euro that offer their PSUs the payment service of receiving and sending regular credit transfers in euro have the obligation to offer their PSUs the payment service of receiving instant credit transfers in euro by 9 January 2027 and the payment service of sending instant credit transfers in euro by 9 July 2027, as laid down in Article 5a(8) of Regulation (EU) No 260/2012. Those PSPs should also comply with obligations regarding the charges levied on payers and payees in respect of sending and receiving instant credit transfers in euro by 9 January 2027, in accordance with Article 5b(3), second subparagraph, of that Regulation. To enable the Commission to evaluate the impact of Regulation (EU) No 260/2012 on the level of charges for credit transfers, including instant credit transfers, denominated in the national currency of the Member States whose currency is not the euro, pursuant to Article 15(2), point (a), of that Regulation, it is appropriate that PSPs that are located in those Member States and that offer their PSUs the payment service of receiving and sending regular credit transfers in euro should report on the numbers and values of, and charges for, credit transfers, including instant credit transfers, denominated in their national currency and in euro.












(5)


For the purposes of the reporting in accordance with Article 15(3) of Regulation (EU) No 260/2012, PSPs should provide their competent authorities with data on the total number of payment accounts and with the aggregated level of total charges for payment accounts. To enable the Commission to assess whether there is a link between potential changes in the charges for payment accounts and changes in the charges for credit transfers and instant credit transfers, the reporting should include breakdowns for maintenance fees.












(6)


To enable the Commission to assess the share of rejected instant credit transfers due to the application of targeted financial restrictive measures adopted in accordance with Article 215 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and to assess whether that share has changed after the amendments to Regulation (EU) No 260/2012 introduced by Regulation (EU) 2024/886 of the European Parliament and of the Council (2) have started to apply, PSPs should provide their competent authorities with data on that share in a given year, including the number of instances where instant credit transfers were not executed or funds were frozen on the side of the payer’s or payee’s PSP.












(7)


To harmonise reporting, PSPs should use the data point model and the validation formulae made available on the website of the European Banking Authority (EBA). In addition, to reduce the burden of reporting, and avoid any duplication, competent authorities should be able to allow PSPs located in their jurisdiction to limit the reporting to those data points that have not been previously submitted.












(8)


This Regulation is based on the draft implementing technical standards submitted to the Commission by the EBA.












(9)


The EBA has conducted open public consultations on the draft implementing technical standards on which this Regulation is based, analysed the potential related costs and benefits and requested the advice of the Banking Stakeholder Group established in accordance with Article 37 of Regulation (EU) No 1093/2010 of the European Parliament and of the Council (3),

4.


The following general notation is followed in these instructions: {Template; Row; Column; z-axis}. In the case of templates with only one column, only rows are referred to {Template; Row}, with z-axis where applicable.





Scope of reporting









5.


PSPs located in euro Member States in scope for the reporting obligations based on Article 15 of Regulation (EU) No 260/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council (1) shall report templates S 01.01, S 02.01, S 03.00 and S 04.00, with all the data points presented in this Annex, unless the national competent authorities in their jurisdiction allow them to send only a reference (including a link, where available) to identical previously submitted data points.












6.


PSPs located in non-euro Member States which offer the payment service of receiving and sending regular credit transfers in euro are also within the scope of the obligations to offer their PSUs the payment service of receiving and sending instant credit transfers in euro. Those PSPs should also comply with obligations regarding the charges levied on payers and payees in respect of sending and receiving instant credit transfers in euro. As such, those PSPs are also within the scope of the reporting obligations based on Article 15 of Regulation (EU) No 260/2012. Therefore, they shall report all templates with all the data points presented in this Annex, unless the national competent authorities in their jurisdiction allow them to send only a reference (including a link, where available) to identical previously submitted data points.












7.


Branches of PSPs located in Member States other than Member States of their parent entities shall submit their data to the competent authority of the host Member State and parent entities shall report for themselves to the competent authority of their home Member State.












8.


Article 15(2) and (3) of Regulation (EU) No 260/2012 specify that those paragraphs apply to credit transfers and instant credit transfers, while excluding transactions that are referred to in Article 1(2) of that Regulation. Furthermore, Article 15(2) of Regulation (EU) No 260/2012 provides that the development of charges for national and cross-border credit transfers and instant credit transfers in euro and in the national currency of the Member States whose currency is not the euro are also to be evaluated by the European Commission. National and cross-border credit transfers are defined in Article 2, points (26) and (27) of that Regulation. In light of this, to determine whether a credit transfer is under the scope of this Regulation, both the credit transfer currency (the credit transfer is in euro or in the national currency of the Member States whose currency is not the euro) and the PSP location (the payer's and the payee's PSPs of the credit transfer are located in the Union) are to be considered.












9.


Charges for transfers denominated in euro shall always be reported in euro, even if they were levied in another currency.












10.


Charges for transfers denominated in Member States’ national currencies other than euro shall be reported in that national currency, even where they were levied in a different currency. In such cases, where charges are converted into euro or into other national currencies, data shall be converted using the ECB reference exchange rate or exchange rates applied for those transactions, in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 1409/2013 of the European Central Bank (2).












11.


The currency conversion fee shall be excluded from reporting.












12.


PSPs shall report the six sets of templates in this Annex separately for each reference period.





TEMPLATE S 01.01: TOTAL NUMBER AND TOTAL VALUE OF CREDIT TRANSFERS, AND OF INSTANT CREDIT TRANSFERS


General remarks









13.


PSPs shall complete Template S 01.01 with the number and value of sent credit transfers and instant credit transfers in euro for PSPs located in euro Member States, and in national currency other than euro for PSPs located in non-euro Member States.
The number and value of credit transfers and instant credit transfers shall include the number of such transfers sent by each PSP in the reference period, with breakdowns by:






(a)


transfers that are free of charge and those that are not free of charge;










(b)


type of customer initiating the credit transfer;










(c)


national or cross-border nature of the credit transfer;










(d)


payment initiation method used.




For the breakdowns referred to in points (a), (b) and (c), the sum of the reported data points shall add up to the total number or value of reported credit transfers.
For the breakdown referred to in point (d), in the credit transfers "initiated electronically via online banking’, PSPs shall include credit transfers initiated online on a single payment basis and credit transfers initiated in a file/batch. Credit transfers initiated in a file/batch are electronically initiated credit transfers that are part of a group of credit transfers jointly initiated by the payer via a dedicated line. Each credit transfer contained in a batch shall be counted as a separate credit transfer when reporting the number of transactions.












14.


PSPs shall indicate in Template S 01.01 the number and value of received credit transfers and instant credit transfers in euro for PSPs located in euro Member States, and in national currency other than euro for PSPs located in non-euro Member States. The number and value of credit transfers and instant credit transfers shall indicate the number of transfers received by each PSP in the reference period, with a breakdown by whether the transfer is free of charge or not.












15.


Information in this template shall be reported at a total level.

The figure shall be expressed in national currency.
In case a pre-paid package (or 'single flat fee') is applied, meaning that one or more services are offered as part of a package of services linked to a payment account, the figure shall just disclose the single fee applied for the entire package and the additional fee charged for any service exceeding the quantity covered by the package fee, if applicable.

TEMPLATE S 04.00: NUMBER OF REJECTED INSTANT CREDIT TRANSFERS


General remarks









23.


PSPs shall complete Template S 04.00 by including information on the number of rejected instant credit transfers due to the application of the targeted financial restrictive measures in the reference period.












24.


The aim of this reporting is to verify the number of instances where an instant credit transfer from or to an entity subject to targeted financial restrictive measures (TFRM) was not allowed to go through, irrespective of the mechanism used. That could derive from the fact that the payer’s or the payee’s PSP has stopped the execution of an initiated transaction, or the payer’s PSP has frozen funds before an instant credit transfer was initiated, or the payee’s PSP has frozen funds after the instant credit transfer has arrived at an account.












25.


The number of rejected instant credit transfers shall include both transfers within the same PSP and transfers between different PSPs.
