Official public data only, refreshed every month.
Every entry comes from the EBA Central Register of payment and e-money institutions, which the European Banking Authority compiles from the registers each national regulator keeps. We use the full file the EBA publishes for download, downloaded on 30 October 2026, and refresh it every month.
E-money institutions, payment institutions, small e-money and small payment institutions (firms on a lighter licence with lower limits) and firms registered only for account information services, in all 30 EU and EEA countries. Agents, branches, banks and firms excluded from the payment services rules are not included. UK firms are not on the EBA register: use the FCA Financial Services Register.
The register is kept by the national regulators and the EBA, not by Buckingham Capital Consulting. Questions about a firm's entry go to the regulator named in its result.
A firm shows as authorised when its latest register entry is an authorisation with no later withdrawal. Withdrawn firms show the date their authorisation ended.
The countries listed are those where the firm has notified its regulator that it will provide services under its home licence. A notification does not mean the firm is active in that country.
The EBA register has no legal effect of its own: the register of each national regulator is the official record. Before you rely on an entry, open the firm's official EBA entry from its result and check the national register it names.
Official sources: EBA payment institutions register and the EBA register search. For the UK, the FCA Financial Services Register.
Register entries published for information. They are not legal advice, and a listing is not an endorsement of any firm.
Search the firm's name or national reference number above. Each result shows its licence type, home regulator, authorisation date and status, from the EBA register as at 30 October 2026, with a link to the firm's official EBA entry. Confirm the entry on the national regulator's own register before you rely on it.
The European Banking Authority's Central Register under PSD2 lists every payment institution, e-money institution and account information firm authorised or registered in the EU and EEA, as reported by each national regulator. It is a copy for information: the national registers are the legal record.
An e-money institution may issue electronic money, such as balances held in an app or on a prepaid card, as well as provide payment services. A payment institution may provide payment services, such as transfers, card acceptance and money remittance, but may not issue e-money.
A firm on a lighter licence with lower limits on the payments it handles, usually one country only. Small institutions cannot passport their licence to other EU and EEA countries.
No. The UK left the EBA register after Brexit. UK payment and e-money firms are on the FCA Financial Services Register.
Every month, from the latest EBA download. The current data is as at 30 October 2026. A firm authorised or withdrawn since then will not show until the next update.
