Article 5 List of payment service providers and payment system operators for statistical purposes

The Executive Board shall establish and maintain a list of payment service providers, including electronic money issuers, and payment system operators subject to this Regulation. The list will be based on existing lists of supervised payment service providers and payment system operators established by national authorities, where such lists are available.

The NCBs and the ECB shall make the list referred to in paragraph 1, and its updates, accessible to the reporting agents concerned in an appropriate way, including by electronic means, via the Internet or, at the request of the reporting agents concerned, in paper form.

The list referred in paragraph 1 shall be for information only. However, in the event that the latest accessible electronic version of the list referred to in paragraph 1 is incorrect, the ECB shall not impose sanctions on any entity that did not properly fulfil its reporting requirements to the extent that it relied in good faith on the incorrect list.
