John Kiff on 22 Nov 21The European Central Bank (ECB) has approved a new oversight framework for electronic payments following a public consultation. The Eurosystem will use the new payment instruments, schemes and arrangements (PISA) framework to oversee companies enabling or supporting the use of payment cards, credit transfers, direct debits, e-money transfers and digital payment tokens, including electronic wallets. It will also cover crypto-asset-related services, such as the acceptance of crypto-assets by merchants within a card payment scheme and the option to send, receive or pay with crypto-assets via an electronic wallet.
