Implication of the Payment Services Directive
• Payment services directives 2 passed on January 12
• Must be included in domestic legislation in 2 years
• Among other things, requires that banks open up, operate as APIs
• Intention is to improve consumer experience
• Some precedent (e.g. Tink), but no longer discretionary
• What does this mean for FinTech?
