!!! Overview
[{$pagename}] ([PSP]) typically connect to multiple acquiring [Bank], [Card Processors], and [Payment Network].
[{$pagename}]s in many cases, the [{$pagename}] will fully manage these technical connections, relationships with the external network, and [Transaction Accounts]. This makes the [merchant] less dependent on [Financial Institutions] and free from the task of establishing these connections directly, especially when operating internationally.
!! [Payment Services Directive]

* government departments and local authorities, other than when carrying out functions of a public nature.
[Payment Services Directive] defines of two new [{$pagename}] models:
* [Payment Initiation Service Provider] ([PISP])
* [Account Information Service Provider] ([AISP])
There are also [Third Party Payment Service Provider] ([TPP]).
[{$pagename}] maybe different as the [European Union] States may have different definitions.
!! [PCI DSS]
Typically, they use a [Software as a Service] model and form a single payment gateway for their clients (merchants) to multiple [payment] methods.
Typically, a [{$pagename}] can connect to multiple acquiring [Bank], [Card Processors], and [Payment Network]. In many cases, the [{$pagename}] will fully manage these technical connections, relationships with the external network, and bank accounts. This makes the [merchant] less dependent on [Financial Institutions] and free from the task of establishing these connections directly, especially when operating internationally. Furthermore, by negotiating bulk deals they can often offer cheaper fees.
Furthermore, a full-service [{$pagename}] can offer [Risk Management] services for [payment Cards] and bank based payments, [Payment Transaction] matching, reporting, fund remittance and fraud protection in addition to multi-[currency] functionality and services. Some PSPs provide services to process other next generation methods (payment systems) including cash payments, wallets, prepaid cards or vouchers, and even paper or e-check processing.
[{$pagename}] is thus a much broader term than a [Acquirer] which is how the [Payment Card Industry] refers to them.
[{$pagename}] fees are typically levied in one of two ways: as a percentage of each transaction or a fixed cost per transaction.
US-based on-line [{$pagename}]s are supervised by the [Financial Crimes Enforcement Network] (or [FinCEN]), a bureau of the [United States Department of the Treasury] that collects and analyzes information about financial transactions in order to implement [Anti-Money Laundering], terrorist financiers, and other financial crimes.
There are more than 900 [{$pagename}] in the world. More than 300 offer services for Europe and North-America.
