EBA’s response to the Call for Advice on the review of the PSD2

In June 2022, we published a response to the Call for Advice on the review of the Payment Services Directive (PSD2), which proposed to the European Commission several amendments to the Directive to address various issues identified by the EBA. The proposal aims, among others, to address issues related to the move from open banking to open finance, to clarify the application of strong customer authentication and other security requirements, to define the scope of the Directive and key terms, as well as to identify the interplay between PSD2 and other EU legal acts.
