Historically, the book value of an asset was generally its original cost less any depreciation or other write-down in value.

This was distinct from - and could be very different from - prevailing market value, the fair market price which the asset might be expected to raise if offered for sale.
Defined broadly, a payment service provider is an organisation that:
*provides payment services to others that are not participants in a payment system
*for the purposes of enabling the transfer of funds using the payment system.




In order to address the problems arising from differences between book values and market values, accounting practice has moved substantially toward a system of book valuation which is aligned much more closely with market values.

In a narrower sense, an online payment service provider (PSP) enables e-commerce merchants to accept payments on the merchant's own website.
