# Article 12 — Transfers of funds with missing information (intermediary PSPs)

1. The [intermediary payment service provider](https://www.mica.wtf/definitions/definitions/tofr/intermediary-payment-service-provider) shall establish effective risk-based procedures for determining whether to execute, reject or suspend a [transfer of funds](https://www.mica.wtf/definitions/definitions/tofr/transfer-of-funds) lacking the required [payer](https://www.mica.wtf/definitions/definitions/tofr/payer) and [payee](https://www.mica.wtf/definitions/definitions/tofr/payee) information and for taking the appropriate follow-up action.\
   \
   Where the intermediary [payment service provider](https://www.mica.wtf/definitions/definitions/tofr/payment-service-provider) becomes aware, when receiving a transfer of [funds](https://www.mica.wtf/definitions/definitions/tofr/funds), that the information referred to in Article 4(1), points (a), (b) and (c), Article 4(2), points (a) and (b), Article 5(1), or Article 6, is missing or has not been filled in using characters or inputs admissible in accordance with the conventions of the messaging or payment and settlement system as referred to in Article 7(1), that [intermediary payment service provider](https://www.mica.wtf/definitions/definitions/tofr/intermediary-payment-service-provider) shall on a risk-sensitive basis:
   1. reject the transfer; or
   2. request the required information on the [payer](https://www.mica.wtf/definitions/definitions/tofr/payer) and the [payee](https://www.mica.wtf/definitions/definitions/tofr/payee) before or after the transmission of the [transfer of funds](https://www.mica.wtf/definitions/definitions/tofr/transfer-of-funds).
2. Where a [payment service provider](https://www.mica.wtf/definitions/definitions/tofr/payment-service-provider) repeatedly fails to provide the required information on the payer or the payee, the intermediary payment service provider shall:

   1. take steps, which may initially include the issuing of warnings and setting of deadlines, before proceeding to a rejection, restriction or termination in accordance with point (b) if the required information is still not provided; or
   2. directly reject any future transfers of [funds](https://www.mica.wtf/definitions/definitions/tofr/funds) from that payment service provider or restrict or terminate its business relationship with that payment service provider.

   The intermediary payment service provider shall report that failure, and the steps taken, to the competent authority responsible for monitoring compliance with anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing provisions.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://www.mica.wtf/tofr/transfer-of-funds-regulation/chapter-ii-psp-obligations/article-12-transfers-with-missing-information.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
