Classification

Service
Payment Network System (85%)

The Financial Market Collection Act amends Austria's Payment Services Act 2018 and transposes EU Directive 2015/2366 (PSD2), making it a comprehensive payments regulatory update affecting payment service providers and their obligations.

Clearing and Settlement Infrastructures (72%)

The act also amends the Finality Act (transposing Directive 1998/26) which governs settlement finality and clearing infrastructure, making clearing and settlement a secondary relevant category requiring human review for scope confirmation.

Specialism
Regulatory Reporting (65%)

The act amends the Payment Services Act 2018 and implements EU Directive 2015/2366 (PSD2), which governs payment service providers, but the update is a broad legislative collection act without specific payment-focused regulatory details.

Supervision (60%)

Low confidence — requires human review. The act implements multiple EU directives across banking, securities, and insurance sectors, making it difficult to isolate a single secondary specialism without detailed knowledge of the specific amendments to payment-related provisions.
