What is a Small Payment Institution?

A Small Payment Institution (SPI) is one of the forms of conducting business in the field of payment services.

Starting operations as an SPI requires registration in the register of payment service providers and electronic money issuers maintained by the Polish Financial Supervision Authority (KNF). This is because activities in the field of payment services are regulated under the provisions of the Entrepreneurs’ Law Act of March 6, 2018.

A Small Payment Institution, according to the Payment Services Act, can be a natural person, legal entity, or organizational unit without legal personality, granted legal capacity by law, registered in the register of payment service providers and electronic money issuers, and conducting activities within the scope of any payment service other than the initiation of payment transactions or account information services.

The operation of Small Payment Institutions is regulated under the Entrepreneurs’ Law Act, which means it can only be conducted after meeting the prerequisites specified in the act and obtaining registration in the relevant register.

The introduction of Small Payment Institutions into the Polish legal system is an implementation of the so-called PSD2 directive.
