I understand that the Deputy is seeking information on charges applied by Payzone. The Central Bank has confirmed that Payzone is not authorised by it and I understand that the bill pay service provided by Payzone is not a regulated activity under financial services legislation. As such, the matter does not come under my aegis. I understand that Payzone sets its own service administration fees.
I would advise customers who do not wish to pay such charges to shop around for cheaper, or even free, alternatives which may be available to them.
