Third Party Providers (TPPs)

- Account Information Service Providers (AISPs) – They provide aggregated information on personal and business accounts and customer cards at various banking institutions. This way, customers have a complete overview of their financial situation at any time.
- Payment Initiation Service Providers (PISPs) – They enable customers to make online payments from an account held at another banking institution. At the same time, merchants receive confirmation of the payment initiation immediately, so that they can proceed with orders without delay.
