Card payments initiated electronically acquired non-remotely must equal the sum of its two parts (row 0340, EBA rule v09213_h)

A warning in the payment fraud return (PSD2 fraud reporting), on template Y 04.01, card-based payments transactions reported by the acquiring payment service provider.

Check your file against this ruleWhat to do if it fails

The rule in plain words

Card payments initiated electronically acquired non-remotely must equal card payments acquired non-remotely with strong customer authentication plus card payments acquired non-remotely without strong customer authentication.

EBA checks it for two columns: payment transactions and fraudulent payment transactions. And on six sheets: domestic amount of payment, domestic number of transactions, cross-border within the EEA amount of payments, cross-border within the EEA number of transactions, cross-border outside the EEA amount of payments and cross-border outside the EEA number of transactions. That makes twelve checks. A failure names the one that failed.

How the Line4 Check report words itShow

The first of its checks, word for word as the report shows it when it fails. The others read the same, with their own column, row or sheet.

Fraudulent payment transactions: Of which acquired via a non-remote channel, Cross-border outside the EEA number of transactions = Of which Authenticated via strong customer authentication, Cross-border outside the EEA number of transactions + Of which authenticated via non-strong customer authentication, Cross-border outside the EEA number of transactions

What to do if your filing fails it

  1. 01Open the template below and find the cells the rule reads.
  2. 02Add up the parts in your file and compare the result with the total.
  3. 03If they differ, a part is missing, a value sits in the wrong cell, or the total is out of date.
  4. 04EBA allows a small rounding difference, worked out from the decimals each value is reported with.
  5. 05It runs only when your filing indicators mark Y 04.01 as reported.
  6. 06This is a warning. It does not stop the filing on its own, but your authority may ask you to explain it.

A worked example

The first of its checks, with simple numbers.

Illustrative values
Card payments acquired non-remotely with strong customer authentication1,200
Card payments acquired non-remotely without strong customer authentication800
Together2,000
What the rule then expects

Card payments initiated electronically acquired non-remotely must then be 2,000.

2,000Passes
2,100Fails

A file that reports 2,000 passes. One that reports 2,100 fails, by 100.

The numbers are illustrative, reported to the unit, so the rounding tolerance does not change the result.

Show the rule as writtenShow

EBA's formula, as written out for the first of its checks. Cells are written as {template, row, column, sheet}.

{Y_04.01,r0340,c0020,s0060} = {Y_04.01,r0380,c0020,s0060} + {Y_04.01,r0470,c0020,s0060}

The next five:

{Y_04.01,r0340,c0010,s0020} = {Y_04.01,r0380,c0010,s0020} + {Y_04.01,r0470,c0010,s0020}{Y_04.01,r0340,c0010,s0030} = {Y_04.01,r0380,c0010,s0030} + {Y_04.01,r0470,c0010,s0030}{Y_04.01,r0340,c0010,s0010} = {Y_04.01,r0380,c0010,s0010} + {Y_04.01,r0470,c0010,s0010}{Y_04.01,r0340,c0010,s0050} = {Y_04.01,r0380,c0010,s0050} + {Y_04.01,r0470,c0010,s0050}{Y_04.01,r0340,c0020,s0040} = {Y_04.01,r0380,c0020,s0040} + {Y_04.01,r0470,c0020,s0040}

And 6 more, the same formula for the other cells it covers.
