The Governing Council of the European Central Bank (ECB) approved the "Guidelines to assess the safety of Internet payments". This document was prepared by the European Forum for Security of retail payments. Handbook is designed to facilitate providing the correct cash transfers. The procedure for transferring funds via the Internet will be controlled by special regulatory authorities across the European Union and European Economic Area.
The manual on safety assessment of online payments sets out criteria for assessing all the procedures that make up the service of money transfer over the Internet. These include risk management, customer information, basic precautions, monitoring and authorization of payments, protection of sensitive payment information and awareness of customers about the process of transfer.
