PART 1A — Continuation of authorisation for limited purposes: Electronic Money Regulations 2011

Interpretation

12A

The interpretative provisions in paragraph 1 apply also for the purposes of this Part of this Schedule and “PSR 2017” means the Payment Services Regulations 2017.

Continued authorisation for limited purposes

12B

  • (1) This paragraph applies to a person in relation to whom the IP completion day conditions or the transitional authorisation conditions are satisfied.
  • (2) The “IP completion day conditions”, in relation to a person, are—
  • (a) that immediately before IP completion day the person was providing electronic money issuance or payment services through a branch or agent in the United Kingdom in the exercise of a passport right as an EEA authorised electronic money institution,
  • (b) that immediately after IP completion day the person is not (apart from under this Part of this Schedule) an authorised electronic money institution, and
  • (c) that immediately after IP completion day—
  • (i) the person has outstanding obligations under contracts which the person entered into through a branch or agent in the United Kingdom as an EEA authorised electronic money institution exercising passport rights, or
  • (ii) any electronic money issued by the person through a branch or agent in the United Kingdom as an EEA authorised electronic money institution exercising passport rights has not been redeemed.
  • (3) The “transitional authorisation conditions”, in relation to a person, are—
  • (a) that on IP completion day the person became authorised to provide electronic money issuance, redemption, distribution or payment services in the United Kingdom by virtue of paragraph 2,
  • (b) that the person has provided any such services in the United Kingdom either—
  • (i) before IP completion day, in the exercise of a passport right as an EEA authorised electronic money institution, or
  • (ii) on or after IP completion day, in accordance with paragraph 2,
  • (c) that immediately after the end of the transition period defined in paragraph 10 the person is not (apart from under this Part of this Schedule) an authorised electronic money institution, and
  • (d) that immediately after the end of that period—
  • (i) the person has outstanding obligations under contracts which the person entered into as an EEA authorised electronic money institution exercising passport rights, or
  • (ii) electronic money issued by the person as an EEA authorised electronic money institution exercising passport rights has not been redeemed.
  • (4) During the extension period defined in paragraph 12G—
  • (a) a person to whom this paragraph applies is to be taken to be an authorised electronic money institution whose authorisation under regulation 9 of EMR 2011 relates to the permitted services specified in paragraph 12E, ...
  • (b) accordingly, references in EMR 2011 and the Payment Services Regulations 2017 to an authorised electronic money institution are to be read as including a person to whom this paragraph applies, and
  • (c) a requirement imposed by a home state competent authority and which has effect immediately before IP completion day continues to have effect on and after that day as if it were imposed by the FCA under regulation 7 of EMR 2011 insofar as it could be imposed by the FCA under that regulation.
  • (5) Sub-paragraph (4) is subject to paragraphs 12C(4), 12H and 12I.
  • (6) In this paragraph reference to providing services at a particular time includes where the performance of a pre-existing contract requires, or may require, a service to be provided at another time.

Duty to notify FCA

12C

  • (1) A person to whom paragraph 12B or 12L applies must notify the FCA of that fact as soon as reasonably practicable, and in any event not later than one month after the person first becomes aware of an obligation to perform a pre-existing contract.
  • (2) In this Part a “pre-existing contract”, in relation to a person to whom paragraph 12B applies, means a contract—
  • (a) which was entered into before the extension period defined in paragraph 12G through branch or agent in the United Kingdom, and
  • (b) under which the person is obliged to issue electronic money or to provide payment services.
  • (3) Notification under sub-paragraph (1) must be made in such manner, and be accompanied by such information, as the FCA may direct.
  • (4) The FCA is not obliged to include a person to whom paragraph 12B applies on the register maintained under regulation 4 of EMR 2011 until the person notifies the FCA under sub-paragraph (1).
  • (5) During the extension period defined in paragraph 12G, a person to whom paragraph 12B applies must notify the FCA of any of the matters mentioned in paragraph 6(2)(b) to (d).

Agents

Permitted services

12E

  • (1) This paragraph sets out the permitted services for the purposes of paragraph 12B(4)(a).
  • (2) The permitted services are—
  • (a) where the IP completion day conditions in paragraph 12B(2) are met, services of the kind mentioned in paragraph 12B(2)(a), but only to the extent that the issue of electronic money, or the provision of payment services, is necessary to enable the person to whom paragraph 12B applies to perform a pre-existing contract or to redeem outstanding electronic money, or
  • (b) where the transitional authorisation conditions in paragraph 12B(3) are met, services of the kind mentioned in paragraph 12B(3)(b)(i) or (ii), but only to the extent that the issue of electronic money, or the provision of payment services, is necessary to enable the person to whom paragraph 12B applies to perform a pre-existing contract or to redeem outstanding electronic money.
  • (3) If a pre-existing contract is varied by agreement for the purpose of complying with regulatory requirements or reducing a risk to the person to whom paragraph 12D applies, but without extending the duration of the contract or materially altering its commercial effect, the contract as varied remains a pre-existing contract.
  • (4) The FCA may, on an application made before the end of the extension period by a person to whom paragraph 12B applies, approve a plan (a “wind-down plan”) under which new contracts may be entered into for the purposes of the orderly winding down of the person’s business of issuing electronic money or payment services in the United Kingdom.
  • (5) If a wind-down plan is approved by the FCA, the permitted services include services provided in accordance with the wind-down plan.
  • (6) A person providing permitted services in accordance with this paragraph must, when required by the FCA, provide the FCA with such evidence as the FCA may reasonably require to demonstrate the person’s compliance with the law of the person’s home state implementing Article 7 of the electronic money directive (safeguarding).

  • (2) The “IP completion day conditions”, in relation to a person, are—
  • (a) that immediately before IP completion day the person was providing payment services through a branch or agent in the United Kingdom in the exercise of a passport right—
  • (i) as an EEA authorised payment institution, or
  • (ii) as an EEA registered account information service provider,
  • (b) that immediately after IP completion day the person is not (apart from under this Part of this Schedule) an authorised payment institution or a registered account information service provider, and
  • (c) that immediately after IP completion day the person has outstanding obligations under contracts which the person entered into as an EEA authorised payment institution or an EEA registered account information service provider exercising passport rights.

  • (b) that the person has provided any such services in the United Kingdom either—
  • (i) before IP completion day, in the exercise of a passport right as an EEA authorised payment institution or an EEA registered account information service provider, or
  • (ii) on or after IP completion day, in accordance with paragraph 14, and
  • (c) that immediately after the end of that period the person has outstanding obligations under contracts which the person entered into through branch or agent in the United Kingdom as an EEA authorised payment institution or an EEA registered account information service provider exercising passport rights.
  • (4) During the extension period defined in paragraph 31—
  • (a) a person to whom this paragraph applies is to be taken—

  • (ii) in the case of a person who was an EEA registered account information service provider, to be a registered account information service provider whose registration under regulation 18 of PSR 2017 relates to the permitted services specified in paragraph 29;
  • (b) accordingly, references in PSR 2017 to an authorised payment institution or a registered account information service provider are to be read as including a person who is taken by virtue of this paragraph to be an authorised payment institution or a registered account information service provider (as the case may be).
  • (c) a requirement imposed by a home state competent authority and which has effect immediately before IP completion day continues to have effect on and after that day as if it were imposed by the FCA under regulation 7 of the PSR 2017 insofar as it could be imposed by the FCA under that regulation.
  • (5) Sub-paragraph (4) is subject to paragraphs 27(4), 32 and 33.
  • (6) In this paragraph reference to providing services at a particular time includes where the performance of a pre-existing contract requires, or may require, a service to be provided at another time.

Duty to notify FCA
