PSD2

PSD2 is a European regulation for electronic payment services. It seeks to make payments more secure, boost innovation by giving third parties access to bank infrastructure, and help banking services adopt new technologies. It distinguishes Payment Initiation Services (PIS) and Account Information Services (AIS).

What it means for your organisation

PSD2 has strict security requirements for operational processes, data, and banking interfaces. Organisations have to establish processes to report incidents, and prevent money laundering and fraud.

Implement security measures

PSD2 goes beyond strong customer authentication (SCA). It requires, for example, adequate access management, encryption, and data protection.

Obtaining a PSD2 license

Obtaining a PSD2 license is subject to regulator review and may take up to 12 months. Without proper documentation, a PSD2 application will be rejected.

Regular reporting to regulators

PSD2 regulators continuously audit the adherence by PSD2 licensees to the PSD2 license requirements.
