Directive (EU) 2015/2366 on payment services in the internal market (PSD2) entered into force in the European Union on 12 January 2016 and will apply as of 13 January 2018.

The same article states that the competent authorities shall, in turn, “provide EBA and the ECB with such data in an aggregated form”.
