Public consultation by the European Banking Authority (EBA) on retail payment services

On 5 May the European Banking Authority (EBA) launched a public consultation on its draft Guidelines on security measures for operational and security risks of payment services under the Payment Services Directive (PSD2). The Guidelines were prepared in close cooperation with the European Central Bank and are consistent with the goals of the PSD2 Directive, such as strengthening the integration of payments markets in the EU, promoting competition and enhancing the security of electronic payments.

Comments should be submitted to the European Banking Authority by 7 August 2017.
