Payment services regulatory requirements for IT (ZAIT)

The effort that payment institutions and e-money institutions have to put in to be ZAG (Zahlungsdiensteaufsichtsgesetz, ZAG [German Payment Services Supervision Act]) and ZAIT (Zahlungsdiensteaufsichtlichen Anforderungen an die IT von Zahlungs- und E-Geld-Instituten, ZAIT [payment services regulatory requirements for the IT of payment and e-money institutions]) compliant can be immense. For that reason, the first step should always be to check how high the existing degree of coverage of the individual topic areas is within the company so as to identify the actual need for implementation.
