General Features of the PIS and the AIS
1. These Rules determine the functioning of the PIS and the AIS in the Paysera system, provide the main features of the PIS and the AIS, regulate the submission of data of the Payer for the purpose of provision of the PIS and the AIS, and the security and confidentiality of this data. Under consent of the Payer, Paysera provides both the PIS and the AIS together.
2. The AIS provided by Paysera allows the Payer, who intends to use the PIS, to log in to their personal electronic banking system via the Open connection interface supported by Paysera and receive information about their accounts at a specific PSP, balance on the accounts, and select an account which the Payer intends to initiate a Payment order from.
3. Using the PIS provided by Paysera, the Payer has the possibility to log in to a personal electronic banking system via the open connection interface supported by Paysera, and confirm (authorise) an automatically generated payment order to the PSP institution of the Payer, i.e. the Payer initiates and confirms a payment order by logging in to their electronic banking not directly, but via the Paysera system and the supported Open connection interface.
4. Both the AIS and the PIS in the Paysera system do not cost the Payer additionally, although the Payer, under the present Rules, is informed that the Payer will be applied with their PSP institution’s standard commission fee for payment transfers of a relevant type charged by the PSP of the Payer. If the PSP of the Payer informs about the price of such payment transfer, Paysera shall also inform the Payer thereof before they authorise the payment order.
Detailed Description of the Operation of the PIS and AIS
5. When submitting a request to initiate a payment order from their payment account and/or submitting a request for account information provision, the Payer electronically expresses their consent to Paysera for the use of these services and is redirected via the Open connection interface supported by Paysera to their PSP website where they enter their login data to the electronic banking. After the Payer logs in to their electronic banking, Paysera automatically generates and initiates a payment order on behalf of the Payer. When executing this function, Paysera does not collect, accumulate, or store any electronic banking data (personalised security data) provided by the Payer, and the final recipient of data is the payment recipient provided by the Payer in the Payment order. Information which the Payer uses to log in to their electronic banking (client ID, password, generated codes, password card codes, or any other) is encrypted and used only once for payment order initiation, account information, and during only one session which is supported only until reception of confirmation of the payment order from the PSP, but not longer than 10 (ten) minutes.
6. In each separate instance of service provision, the Payer gives their consent to initiate the PIS and receive information about the account electronically, by clicking the consent button in the provided information window and later when performing some actions, i.e. entering their login data to the electronic banking and confirming the payment order generated by Paysera. Using the Paysera AIS, the Payer personally, on their behalf, and unilaterally initiates submission of the payment order to the selected PSP. The payment order may be cancelled up to the moment when the consent to initiate the PIS is given by the Payer. The wish to cancel a payment order is expressed by the Payer electronically by terminating the session.
7. With the help of the AIS provided by Paysera during payment initiation, the Payer is displayed the payment account (accounts) at a specific PSP institution and its (their) balance. If the Payer has several payment accounts in a specific institution of the PSP, the Payer selects the account from which they intend to execute the payment order.
8. After the Payer logs in to their electronic banking, Paysera automatically generates a payment order according to the data of the Payer provided to Paysera, also indicating:
8.1. if the recipient of funds is a client of Paysera, who the Payer intends to purchase goods or services from – the payment purpose is indicated automatically according to the data of the recipient of funds in the system, which will later help the recipient o funds to easily recognise the payment order, the purchased goods or services, and the purpose of the payment;
8.2. the payment amount confirmed by the Payer during the initiation of the payment order;
8.3. after a payment order is generated, the amount, the recipient of funds, and other transaction data cannot be changed.
9. The Payer shall confirm (authorise) a payment order automatically generated by Paysera.
10. After successful provision of the payment order initiation service, via a durable medium, Paysera submits a confirmation to the Payer and the recipient of funds about the proper initiation of the payment order and the successfully completed Payment order, which at the same time is also a confirmation that the payment order has been appropriately initiated at the institution of the PSP managing the payer’s account. Along with this information, Paysera submits the data that allows the Payer and the recipient of funds to recognise the payment transaction, the amount of the payment transaction, and, in certain cases (for example, by using the service of provision of transfer of the personal ID number), for the recipient of funds to recognise the Payer, together with the data sent with the payment transaction.
11. Paysera shall inform the recipient of funds about the successful execution of a payment order.
12. When providing PIS, Paysera provides the Payer and the recipient with data that allows them to identify the payment transaction and the Payer.
13. When providing PIS and/or AIS, Paysera does not keep the funds of the Payer at any moment.
Responsibility
14. Paysera undertakes full responsibility for the proper submission of a payment order of the Payer to the PSP selected by the Payer, as well as the security and confidentiality of login data to the electronic banking provided by the Payer.
15. In case Paysera provides the PIS according to the payment order initiated by the Payer, and according to this information the funds indicated by the Payer have been credited for the recipient of funds, but for some reason the funds have not been debited and transferred or have been returned to the Payer, Paysera shall deem such funds as a debt of the Payer to the recipient of funds.
16. If the Payer finds out about an unauthorised or inappropriately executed payment transaction using the Paysera services, the Payer shall contact the operator of their payment account thereof under the procedure indicated in the agreements with their account operator.
Data Protection
17. Ensuring the security of payment transfers and the confidentiality of the data of the Payers, Paysera does not store any data of the Payer related to personalised security data (e.g. unique identifiers, passwords, or payment order confirmation (authorisation) codes) in the information technology systems and servers used. All the data received are submitted by the personal data subject themselves.
18. All the personalised login data (personalised security data) for the electronic banking of the Payer are used only during one-time sessions, throughout which they are encrypted and cannot be seen, recovered, or used in the Paysera system. Each time when the Payer submits a request to initiate a payment order and/or a request for account information, they must once again confirm their identity to the PSP operating their account.
19. All the data provided by the Payer in the Paysera system during payment execution are transmitted to a PSP institution through a safe channel secured by SSL certificate.
