Recital 29

Recital 29

(29)Member States should determine, in their national law transposing this Directive, whether or not credit servicers in their territory are permitted to receive and hold funds from borrowers while performing credit servicing activities. In cases where the receiving and holding of funds from borrowers is permitted in a Member State and credit servicers intend to do so as part of their business model, additional requirements should apply to those credit servicers, in order to deal with the risks that could arise in cases of insolvency, namely account and fund segregation, as well as in cases of the discharge of the borrower. Where a credit servicer’s home Member State prohibits credit servicers from receiving and holding funds from borrowers, a credit servicer cannot then do so, neither in its home Member State nor in any host Member State, even if a host Member State permits the receiving and holding of funds, precisely because the credit servicer was not authorised to that purpose by its home Member State. In contrast, where a home Member State does permit credit servicers to receive and hold funds from borrowers and includes in its national law the relevant requirements, a credit servicer should be able to receive and hold funds from borrowers in its home Member State as well as in any host Member State that also permits the receiving and holding of funds from borrowers.
