!!! Overview
[{$pagename}] ([PISP]) are defined in the [Payment Services Directive] as the [Service Providers]  (actually a [Third Party Payment Service Providers]) initiating a payment on behalf of the [Payment Service User]. 

[{$pagename}] will be allowed to communicate securely with the [Payment Service User]'s [Account Servicing Payment Service Provider] (ie [Bank]) which hold the [Transaction Account] and seek information required for payment initiation. 

[{$pagename}] will use software to link the [merchant]’s [website] or [Application] (think [Open Banking] [API]) with the [Payment Service User]'s [Account Servicing Payment Service Provider] for initiating payments. 

[P2P] transfer and bill payment are [{$pagename}] services we are likely to see when [PSD2] is implemented.
