Frequently asked questions

A payment gateway that processes card transactions for e-commerce merchants: ATECO code 66.19.10?
Yes. The processing and settlement of financial transactions by credit card, including internet-based digital payments, falls under 66.19.10. Those who issue electronic money as a monetary institution belong instead under 64.19.20.
I provide digital currency wallets to users: does that fall under 66.19.10 or 64.99.00?
Usually 66.19.10, because the activity of digital currency wallet providers is listed under this category. The issuance and trading of crypto-assets on own account are instead classified under 64.99.00. The deciding factor is providing the wallet versus trading crypto on one's own account.
I advise on payment systems but do not operate them: does 66.19.10 still apply?
No. If you only advise without actually processing transactions, you fall under the financial advisory category of 66.19.22. Code 66.19.10 applies when you actually carry out the processing and settlement of payments.
