Regulation (EU) No 1409/2013 of the European Central Bank of 28 November 2013 on payments statistics (ECB/2013/43) (c. 1409)

ANNEX I U.K. GENERAL STRUCTURE OF PAYMENTS STATISTICS

PART 2 U.K. SPECIFIC FEATURES IN TABLES 2 TO 7

Part 2.2 U.K. Payment card accepting devices (Table 3)

1. All terminals provided by resident PSPs are reported, including all terminals located in the reporting country and terminals located outside of the reporting country. U.K.

2. The entity which provides terminals is the acquirer, regardless of the ownership over the terminals. Therefore, only terminals provided by the acquirer are counted. U.K.

3. Terminals provided by branches and/or subsidiaries of the PSP located abroad are not reported by the parent PSP, but by the branches and/or subsidiaries themselves. U.K.

4. Every terminal is counted individually even if several terminals of the same type exist at one merchant location. U.K.

5. If an ATM offers more than one function, it is counted in each applicable sub-category. Therefore, the total number of ATMs may be smaller than the sum of the sub-categories. To avoid double-counting, sub-categories should not be added up. U.K.

6. POS terminals are split into two sub-categories: ‘EFTPOS terminals’ and ‘e-money card terminals’. These sub-categories should not be added up, as they are ‘of which’ and would not equate to the total. U.K.

7. If an e-money card terminal offers more than one function, it is counted in each applicable sub-category. Therefore, the total number of e-money card terminals may be smaller than the sum of the sub-categories. To avoid double-counting, sub-categories should not be added up. U.K.
