How it works

From your documents to a full regulatory position.

Upload

Drop your licence application, client agreements, ICT risk register, or AML policies straight into the chat. Documents persist across the whole conversation.

Ask

Scope licensing across PSD2, MiCA, and CRD, map DORA ICT obligations, or cross-reference AML with MiFID II, cross-referenced to each framework, every RTS and ITS, and EBA, ESMA, and EIOPA Q&As.

Export

A citation-backed report with paragraph-level gaps, obligation by obligation, ready for your national competent authority filing or board briefing.

What authorization does a payment institution need under PSD2?

PSD2: authorisation as a Payment Institution

Under Article 11 of Directive (EU) 2015/2366 (PSD2), providing any service in Annex I requires authorisation as a Payment Institution from your national competent authority, unless an exemption in Article 3 applies.

Key conditions

  • Initial capital €20k–€125k by service type (Art. 7)
  • Own funds and safeguarding of user funds (Arts. 8–10)
  • Governance, AML under AMLD, and DORA ICT-risk controls
  • Passporting across all 27 Member States (Arts. 28–29)

Alternatives

A Small Payment Institution (Art. 32) offers a lighter regime under a Member State turnover cap; issuing e-money instead requires EMI authorisation under EMD2.
