The payer’s payment service provider(s) and the payee’s payment service provider(s) and their intermediaries involved in the execution of a payment transaction transfer the total amount of the payment transaction and may not deduct charges from the amount transferred.
However, the payee may agree with his payment service provider that the latter deducts the charges due to him from the amount transferred in advance. In this case, the total amount of the payment transaction and the charges are separated in the information given to the payee.
If other charges are deducted from the amount transferred, when the payment transaction is ordered by the payer, the payer’s payment service provider shall ensure that the payee receives the full amount of the transaction. Where the payment transaction is ordered by the payee or by the payer who gives a payment order through the payee, the payee’s payment service provider shall ensure that the payee receives the full amount of the payment transaction.
