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 processing of the personal data of the Payer for the purpose of provision of the PIS and the AIS for the Payer.

2. The AIS provided by Paysera allows the Payer, who intends to use the PIS, to receive information about their accounts with the institution of other PSPs, balance of funds on those accounts, and/or select an account which the Payer intends to initiate a Payment order from via the Open connection interface supported by Paysera.

3. Using the PIS provided by Paysera, the Payer has the possibility to initiate and confirm (authorise) an automatically generated payment order of the Payer by Paysera to the PSP institution of the Payer. 

4. Paysera does not apply the commission fee to the Payer neither for the provision of the AIS nor the PIS. However, the Payer under the present Rules is informed that the standard commission fee, applied to the Payer by their PSP institution for a payment transfer of a certain type charged by the PSP of the Payer, will be applied for the payment transfer. 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. Prior to providing AIS and PIS the Payer is informed clearly and unambiguously that the services will be provided by Paysera under the present Rules and only under a consent from the Payer. Having acquainted with the mentioned information and the Rules, the Payer expresses their consent to initiate the PIS and AIS with their actions, i.e. in dependence on the technical integration of the Payer – either clicking on the consent button in a new window or by otherwise choosing to initiate the provision of PIS and AIS. The Payer also confirms the granted consent later by entering login data to the electronic banking of their PSP and confirming the payment order generated by Paysera.

6. The Payer expresses their consent for provision of PIS AIS and enters their electronic banking data to log in to their PSP via the Open connection interface supported by Paysera, where a payment order is automatically generated and initiated 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. 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.

7. Using the Paysera PIS, the Payer on their behalf, and unilaterally, initiates submission of the payment order to the selected PSP. The Payer may cancel a payment order up to the moment when the payment order is confirmed (authorised). The wish to cancel a payment order is expressed by the Payer by terminating the session and not confirming (authorising) the payment order.

8. By using the AIS provided by Paysera, the Payer is provided with the information about the Payer’s account(s) at a specific PSP institution during the PIS. If the Payer has several payment accounts at a specific institution of the PSP, the Payer may select the payment account from which they intend to execute the payment order.

9. By using the PIS provided by Paysera, after the Payer logs in to their PSP via the Open connection interface supported by Paysera, Paysera automatically generates a payment order according to the data of the Payer provided to Paysera, also indicating the following:

9.1. Paysera is indicated as the recipient and information on the final recipient is provided to the Payer in the purpose of payment field;

9.2. if the final recipient is a client of Paysera, the payment purpose is indicated automatically according to the data of the final recipient in order for the final recipient to be able to easily recognise the payment performed by the Payer, i.e. the purchased goods or services, and the purpose of the payment;

Along with this information, Paysera submits other data received during a payment transaction that allows the Payer and the Final recipient to recognise the payment transaction, the amount and the data required for the final recipient to recognise the Payer.

12. Paysera shall inform the final recipient about the successful execution of a payment.

13. When providing the PIS, Paysera provides the Payer and the final recipient with data that allows them to identify the payment transaction and the Payer.
