Regulatory Technical Standards on passporting under PSD2

These Regulatory Technical Standards (RTS) on the framework for cooperation and exchange of information between competent authorities for passporting will ensure that information about those payment institutions that carry out business in one or more EU Member States is exchanged consistently between the national authorities of the home and host Member States. They distinguish the notifications related to branch establishments, agent’s engagement and free provision of services.
