The Payment Services Directive 2 is a European Union directive, applicable from January 2018, that regulates payment services and payment service providers across the European Economic Area. It requires banks to give licensed third party providers secure access to customer account data and payment initiation services when the customer consents, a requirement generally known as open banking, and it introduced stronger customer authentication requirements for electronic payments. PSD2 replaced the original Payment Services Directive of 2007 and aims to increase competition, innovation, and security in the European payments market.
