It is really not that easy to describe. Traditional definition cites as someone as a third party payment service if they are not the owner of the transaction but are still processing the funds.

This definition becomes invalid when we consider a licensed money transmitter who for all purposes is the transaction owner, but still behaves as a 3PP.
