Routing and/or Verification Mechanisms for the Verification Of Payee scheme

As a matter of normal practice, on the requesting side, the RVMs will:  

• Receive VOP Requests from Requesting PSPs who participate in the relevant RVM and forward the requests in full to the Responding PSPs, ensuring that all data submitted by the Requester and the Requesting PSP reaches the Responding PSPs;
• Receive VOP Responses from the Responding PSPs and forward these responses in full and without alteration to the Requesting PSPs who participate in the relevant RVM;

And on the responding side, the RVMs will: 

• Receive VOP Requests from the Requesting PSP and forward the requests in full to the Responding PSPs who participate in the relevant RVM
• Forward VOP Responses from the Responding PSPs who participate in the relevant RVM in full and without alteration to the Requesting PSPs.
• The RVMs may also conduct the VOP actions on behalf of the Responding PSP and subject to an agreement between the RVM and the Responding PSP concerned. 

The RVMs will provide any required risk management procedures and other related services.
Finally, RVMs will also receive a delegation of the PSPs they are offering their services to, enabling the RVMs to manage the routing data for these PSPs in the EPC Directory Service (EDS).
