What is the Payment Initiation Service (PIS)?
The Illimity current account holder (Illimity Account), who has activated the functionality to access information on payment accounts held with third-party intermediaries (via the AIS - Account Information Service), can initiate payment orders for these accounts through the Illimity remote service.
This service is not dependent on an agreement between Illimity Bank and the third-party intermediary. When initiating payment orders, Illimity Bank, as a Payment Service Provider, identifies itself to the Client's Third-Party Payment Service Provider by securely transmitting payer and beneficiary information, in accordance with Directive (EU) 2015/2366 and related technical regulatory standards.
To use the PIS, clients must sign an supplementary agreement to the "Current Account and Ancillary Services Contract." This agreement can be signed digitally through the Illimity remote service using Digital Signature.
The PIS can be activated and deactivated by the Client at any time via a dedicated function within the Personal Area of the Account.
Illimity Bank's role is to transfer the payment order to the Client's Third-Party Payment Service Provider. The execution of the payment remains the responsibility of the Third Party, which may apply costs as per the contract between the client and the third party.
Details on how the service is provided will be made available to the Client in their Personal Area and through the Illimity Remote Service.
Transactions initiated by the Client on payment accounts held with a Third-Party Payment Service Provider must also comply with the terms and conditions of the contract signed between the Client and the account's Payment Service Provider.
The Beneficiary Verification service, as per the Current Account contract, is handled by Illimity Bank as the PISP when acting as an active PISP.
Typical Risks
The main risks associated with the payment order initiation service include:
- Delays or errors in transaction execution if the Client provides inaccurate data (e.g., incorrect IBAN or beneficiary details).
- Inability to revoke a payment order with Illimity Bank. Revocation requests must be made to the Client's Third-Party Payment Service Provider, according to their procedures and timelines.

Withdrawal from Payment Services
The Payment Initiation Service cannot be withdrawn independently; it can be activated and deactivated by the Client at any time via the Personal Area. The Client can withdraw from Payment Services without penalty and at no cost, with one day's notice. The Bank may withdraw from Payment Services with two months' notice. In case of withdrawal, contractual conditions continue to apply to ongoing operations. For continuous payment orders, the instruction is only valid for the ongoing transaction, and the mandate for subsequent orders is terminated. Withdrawal from Payment Services automatically leads to withdrawal from the Current Account Contract.
Legal Transfer Times for Payment Accounts
Consumer Clients can easily transfer payment services and accounts between banks as per Legislative Decree 15 March 2017, no. 37. Transfers are free and completed within twelve (12) working days, though some related services may require more time. For six (6) months after authorizing a transfer, consumer clients have the right to receive free information relevant to the transfer, including standing orders and direct debits. More information is available in the "Transparency" section on the Bank's website.
