An account information provider is an entity that obtains and processes information about account holders’ payment accounts based on their consent via bank APIs. This type of service is a key element in the modern payment ecosystem, especially in connection with the development of open banking under PSD2.
A payment account information service is a service consisting of providing information about a payment account via the internet by an administrator who is not the bank managing the account. In practice, this means that if an entity aggregates or processes information about payments on a client’s payment account and provides it to the client without being the person directly managing the payment account, it must be authorised to act as an account information service provider.
One of the main uses of this service is to increase transparency and control over one’s own finances by linking information about accounts held with different providers and displaying it in one place.
Obtaining AISP licences is one of our areas of expertise. We helped our client obtain the first licence of this kind in the Czech Republic.
