Abstract

The European Union’s revised Payment Services Directive (PSD 2) aims at opening up the market for payment services in the EU. Banks are required to grant other providers access to their customers’ payment account data in order to stimulate competition, facilitate the development of new, innovative offerings and allow customers to ‘shop around’ for better-value, more personalised services. While billed as a major win for customers the regulatory approach of PSD 2 is informed almost exclusively by competition law and supply-side concerns as they take precedence over customers’ and public interest considerations, such as data protection and privacy. In an environment that is increasingly dominated by large digital platforms this may prove to be a costly mistake.
