Recital 96

In light of anti-money laundering vulnerabilities related to electronic money issuers, payment service providers and crypto-assets service providers, it should be possible for Member States to require that those providers established on their territory in forms other than a branch or through other types of infrastructure and the head office of which is located in another Member State appoint a central contact point. Such a central contact point, acting on behalf of the appointing institution, should ensure the establishments’ compliance with AML/CFT rules.
