CESOP Reporting
CESOP Reporting
Understanding CESOP
CESOP is an innovative system or database designed to consolidate all payment-related information from EU member countries. By aggregating and cross-checking this data, under the CESOP guidelines, European Union aims to enhance the efficiency and security of cross-border transactions, ensuring a higher level of transparency and oversight across its financial ecosystem.
CESOP Reporting for Payment Service Providers
This new regulation specifically targets payment service providers (PSPs) operating within the EU. It mandates that each PSP must submit detailed CESOP reports to the regulatory authority of their jurisdiction. The CESOP reports should be in the required CESOP XML format and should be submitted to the local regulator on a quarterly basis.
CESOP Reporting Details
Each CESOP report is to include a comprehensive list of all cross-border payments processed by the PSP during the relevant quarter. It should detail the transactions and include information about the recipients of these payments. This requirement is part of the EU’s broader strategy to enhance financial monitoring, combat fraud, and ensure the integrity of cross-border payment activities within its borders.
By aligning with these CESOP guidelines, PSPs stand to fortify a more secure and transparent financial framework throughout the European Union, thereby echoing the broader regulatory and compliance ambitions of the EU.
CESOP Reporting Requirements should be applicable to
- credit institutions, i.e. banks,
- e-money institutions,
- payment institutions,
- post-office giro institutions which are entitled under national law to provide payment services.

What European regulatory reporting solutions does DataTracks offer?
DataTracks provides software and services for KVK and ESEF reporting, alongside solutions for AIFMD Annex IV, COREP/FINREP, Solvency II, FATCA/CRS, CbCR, and other regulatory requirements. Our team helps you select the right solution for your reporting obligations.
How does DataTracks support Dutch KVK reporting?
DataTracks helps prepare annual accounts for digital filing with the Netherlands Chamber of Commerce. Our support includes XBRL/iXBRL conversion, taxonomy mapping, tagging, and validation to prepare filing-ready reports.
What is ESEF reporting, and which companies does it apply to?
ESEF is the European Single Electronic Format for annual financial reports of issuers subject to the EU Transparency Directive’s reporting requirements. Reports must be prepared in XHTML, with Inline XBRL tagging applied to IFRS consolidated financial statements.
Are KVK and ESEF reporting requirements the same?
No. KVK reporting concerns statutory annual accounts filed with the Netherlands Chamber of Commerce, while ESEF concerns annual financial reporting by issuers within its scope. Although both can use XBRL-based formats, their taxonomies, report contents, and submission requirements differ. An ESEF report should not automatically be treated as a KVK-ready filing.
What is AIFMD Annex IV reporting?
AIFMD Annex IV reporting requires alternative investment fund managers within scope to report information about their funds to the relevant national competent authorities. This includes information on investments, exposures, leverage, liquidity, and risk.
What other regulatory reporting solutions does DataTracks offer in the EU?
Alongside KVK and ESEF, DataTracks offers solutions for AIFMD Annex IV, COREP/FINREP, Solvency II, MiCA, FATCA/CRS, and CbCR. Fund managers, and financial institutions can choose support suited to their applicable reporting obligations.
