Netherlands-based payment services provider GlobalCollect has received a Payment Services Directive (PSD) license from the Dutch Central Bank.

“With this license, GlobalCollect will be able to continue to provide the service portfolio its merchants expect and expand it further while giving them the peace of mind of working with a certified Payment Service Provider”, Jan Manten, CEO of GlobalCollect, has commented.

The PSD provides a system of licenses for payment service providers (PSPs), lays down information requirements regarding payment services and lists rights and obligations of both PSPs and users. The aim of this directive is to ensure the user-friendliness, safety and efficiency of payments throughout the European Union / European Economic Area, in particular for credit transfers, direct debit mandates, card payments, as well as for money transfer services.

Through a single-interface online payment platform, GlobalCollect offers access to a portfolio of local and international payment methods in over 200 countries, including major credit and debit cards, direct debits, bank transfers, real-time bank transfers, e-wallets, cash at outlets, prepaid methods, checks and invoices. Serving online, mail and telephone order businesses in various industries, the company also offers technical connections to local payment processors, which include bank account network management, matching, reporting, and fund remittance solutions; invoice management, card fraud prevention, bank account validation and direct debit fraud tools.

In recent news, the company has signed a credit card processing agreement with Interbank FX, a global provider of online off-exchange retail foreign currency (forex) trading services.
