BIPK template contains data on the number of payment cards issued by the payment service provider, broken down by payment card function and, within each function, further broken down by card payment scheme. Data are disclosed with the balance as at the last day of the reporting period (quarter). If a card with a payment function (except for cards with an e-money function) has several functions, the breakdown by function of the card shall be disclosed. It shows cards issued by card schemes, i.e. three-party or four-party schemes. The report includes cards regardless of the issuance date and whether they have been used, but excludes cards that have not been collected, have expired, or have been withdrawn from use. Inactive cards due to being blocked at the time of reporting are included in the report.

For example, if one card is both with a debit and a delayed debit function, it is disclosed both under debit and delayed debit function sub-categories. In order to avoid double counting, sub-categories should not be added up. The total number of cards with a payment function may be smaller than the sum of the subcategories. Debit cards and/or cards with a delayed debit function (124) and Credit cards and/or cards with a delayed debit function (125) data shall be entered only if it cannot be distinguished between the card with a debit function and a card with a delayed debit function and/or credit card and a card with a delayed debit function.

Total number of cards (“number of plastic”) irrespective of the number of functions on the card (14) states the total number of cards issued by payment service providers regardless of the number of functions.

BUPPK template contains data on the number of acceptance devices (e.g. ATMs, POS terminals, etc.) in Montenegro at which the payment service provider provides the service of accepting payment instruments. Data are disclosed with the balance as at the last day of the reporting period (quarter). A payment service provider providing the payment card accepting devices is the acquirer, regardless of the ownership over the devices; therefore, only the number of terminals provided by the acquirer are counted. Every terminal is counted individually even if several terminals of the same type exist at one merchant location. If an ATM offers more than one function, it is counted in each applicable sub-category. Therefore, the total number of ATMs (item designation 11) may be smaller than the sum of the sub-categories. In order to avoid double counting, sub-categories should not be added up. Item designation 12 – POS terminals are split into two categories: Terminals with a function of accepting payment card payments (EFTPOS) and terminals with a cash withdrawal function. Of the terminals with a function of accepting payment card payments (EFTPOS), code-1211 shows the number of terminals with a contactless transaction acceptance function, and code-1212 shows the number of terminals with a function of accepting payments by cards with an e-money function. These sub-categories should not be added up. Virtual POS terminals for card use (13) item shows the total number of software solutions (vPOS) that are not in the form of electromechanical devices and that enable acceptance of card payments via the internet. These terminals enable users to make purchases by entering payment card data on the merchant’s online sales page. The terminals are provided by a bank or another payment institution or e-money institution, and are used exclusively for executing transactions within electronic commerce (e-commerce). If an e-money card terminal offers more than one function, it is counted in each applicable subcategory. Therefore, the total number of e-money card terminals (item designation 14) may be smaller than the sum of the sub-categories. In order to avoid double counting, sub-categories should not be added up.

Each transaction shall be allocated to only one of the above-mentioned sub-categories.

Cash withdrawal using card-based payment instruments (except e-money transactions) Cash withdrawal using payment instruments based on payment cards (except e-money transactions) (12) item shows the number and value of transactions relating to cash withdrawal by means of card-based payment instruments issued by resident payment service providers (except emoney transactions) reported by the payment service provider issuing the payment card.

BVPTKA template contains data on the number and value of payment transactions (national and international) according to customer authentication methods: with the application of strong customer authentication (pursuant to the Decision on ensuring strong customer authentication and common and secure open standards for communication) and without the application of strong customer authentication. These data relate to transactions executed by payment cards, e-money and via the payment initiation service (payment service referred to in Article 2 paragraph (1) item 7) of the Law). The number and value of payment transactions for which an exemption from the application of strong customer authentication has been applied shall also be presented, in accordance with the Decision on ensuring strong customer authentication and common and secure open standards for communication. In accordance with that Decision, strong customer authentication means authentication based on the use of at least two elements from different categories: knowledge (something only the user knows), possession (something only the user possesses) and inherence (something the user is), where those elements are mutually independent and designed in such a way that the compromise of one does not affect the reliability of the other. Data on the number and value of payment transactions by the authentication method used is disclosed aggregately for the entire reporting period (quarter). The value of payment transactions is disclosed in euros. The category strong customer authentication shall be broken down into remote authentication and non-remote authentication. Data under “Without application of strong customer authentication” relate to transactions that are exempt from strong authentication in accordance with Chapter III of the Decision on ensuring strong customer authentication and common and secure open standards for communication, as well as transactions to which Article 56c of the Law does not apply. This category also includes merchantinitiated transactions, as well as other transactions for which strong customer authentication was not applied. For payment transactions executed without the application of strong customer authentication, the template shall present the reasons for not applying strong authentication, namely: – Low value – Trusted beneficiaries – Recurring transactions – Secure corporate payment processes and protocols, – Transaction risk analysis, – Credit transfers between accounts held by the same natural or legal person, – Low-value contactless payments, – Self-service terminals for transport tickets or parking fees, – Other Where more than one ground for exemption could be applied to a specific transaction, the template shall present the exemption that was actually applied. As the sub-categories are mutually exclusive, the total number of placements is the sum of the subcategories.
