# Article 11 — Detection of missing information (intermediary PSPs)

**Source:** [Regulation (EU) 2023/1113 — EUR-Lex](https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=CELEX%3A32023R1113)

1. The intermediary payment service provider shall implement effective procedures to detect whether the fields relating to the information on the payer and the payee in the messaging or payment and settlement system used to effect the transfer of funds have been filled in using characters or inputs admissible in accordance with the conventions of that system.
2. The intermediary payment service provider shall implement effective procedures, including, where appropriate, monitoring after or during the transfers, in order to detect whether the following information on the payer or the payee is missing:
   1. for transfers of funds where the payment service providers of the payer and the payee are established in the Union, the information referred to in Article 5;
   2. for transfers of funds where the payment service provider of the payer or of the payee is established outside the Union, the information referred to in Article 4(1), points (a), (b) and (c), and Article 4(2), points (a) and (b);
   3. for batch file transfers where the payment service provider of the payer or of the payee is established outside the Union, the information referred to in Article 4(1), points (a), (b) and (c), and Article 4(2), points (a) and (b), in respect of that batch file transfer.

## What this means in practice

The intermediary's detection duty mirrors [Art. 7](/tofr/transfer-of-funds-regulation/chapter-ii-psp-obligations/article-7-detection-of-missing-information.md) — syntax check plus substance check — except it runs against transfers *in transit* rather than transfers about to be credited to a payee account.
