PSD2 Independent Assessment

Given the increasing need for electronic payments regulatory harmonization and to implement consumer protections, the EU has introduced the Payment Service Directive 2 – PSD 2. The focus is on improving transparency and security. It requires informing the customer of conditions and required information for payment services. Additionally, it calls for strict security requirements to protect the customer’s financial data and to lessen the risk of fraud. This directive significantly affects payment providers, requiring the sector to lean a new way of entering payments.
