(5) On the basis of information they already hold, payment service providers are able to identify the location of the payee and the payer in relation to the payment services they provide, using an identifier of the payer’s or the payee’s payment account or any other identifier which unambiguously identifies, and gives the location of, the payer or the payee. When such identifiers are not available, the location of the payer or the payee should be determined by means of a business identifier code of the payment service provider acting on behalf of the payer or the payee, in cases where the funds are transferred to a payee without any payment account being created in the name of a payer, where the funds are not credited to any payment account of the payee or where there is no other identifier of the payer or the payee.
