Requirements regarding national provisional lists of the most representative services linked to a payment account and subject to a fee

Guideline 1: Identifying services to be considered for the provisional lists

1.1. With regard to the criterion of ‘services most commonly used by consumers in relation to their payment account’ as referred to in point (a) of Article 3(2) of Directive 2014/92/EU, the factors below should be considered, to the extent deemed necessary to determine the list:

  • a. competent authorities should consider the general population of consumers, when assessing the level of diffusion of services;
  • b. competent authorities should consider the relative prevalence of the services in terms of how often they constitute a feature of payment accounts;
  • c. competent authorities should consider how often the services in question are used, by taking into account, where possible, the proportion of consumers using the service along with the number of times the service is used;
  • d. competent authorities should include the provision of the account itself as a service.

1.2. With regard to the criterion of ‘services that generate the highest cost for consumers, both overall as well as per unit’ as referred to in point (b) of Article 3(2) of Directive 2014/92/EU, the factors below should be considered, to the extent deemed necessary to determine the list:

  • a. when considering fees overall as well as per unit, competent authorities should not only consider services that fulfil both of those criteria simultaneously, but also services that generate the highest cost for consumers either overall or per unit;
  • b. competent authorities should consider fees cumulatively when determining the unit costs or overall costs of services that might attract different types of fees;
  • c. in ascertaining which are the most representative services, competent authorities should consider the costs that are incurred, or could be incurred, by consumers on an annual basis for the use of the service, preferably based on the most recent data available covering a 12 month period.

Guideline 2: Exercising judgement when establishing the provisional lists

2.1. When establishing the provisional list, competent authorities should give priority to those services that satisfy both criteria (i.e. in area C of Figure 1).

2.2. In a second step, since the criteria are not strictly cumulative, competent authorities should also consider services that only satisfy one of the criteria (i.e. in areas A or B) for inclusion in the provisional list. Figure 1 - Services and criteria

2.3. Competent authorities should only use other criteria as an exception, for market-specific issues. In doing so, competent authorities should be able to justify the methodology used, supply supporting data and provide the reasoning behind their decisions.

2.4. Competent authorities should consider the service provided as a single service, irrespective of the potential for providers to differentiate costs according to factors such as channels of usage or the identity of the receiving payment service provider.

Guideline 3: Responding with the provisional lists

3.1. Competent authorities should respond to the Commission and to the EBA using the template in the Annex. Competent authorities should send the responses to the following dedicated mailboxes

  •  EC-PAD-IMPLEMENTATION@ec.europa.eu, and
  •  PAD@eba.europa.eu.

Guideline 4: Supporting data and evidence

4.1. Competent authorities should base their decisions on relevant data. Competent authorities may make use of data from a wide range of sources, provided the data is reliable.

4.2. Competent authorities should ensure that they are able to provide supporting data to justify any decision to include or exclude particular services from their list.

Guideline 5: Submission of the provisional lists

5.1. Competent authorities shall submit the provisional list in accordance with Article 3(3) of Directive 2014/92/EU by 18 September 2015. Annex: Template for competent authority’s response
