The Payment Services Directive 3 (PSD3) and Payment Services Regulation (PSR) introduce a major overhaul of the EU's payments regulatory framework, replacing PSD2 and the second Electronic Money Directive. The new rules impose significant changes on authorization, fraud prevention, strong customer authentication, open banking, and SEPA access, with important implications for EU and UK payment service providers.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Fintech.

◆ The Wire takeaway

PSD3 changes EU payments rules extensively and demands immediate compliance moves from payment providers. You need to update your fraud controls, authentication processes, and consider UK alignment to keep SEPA access.
