Background & Organisation
The Payments market in Europe is rapidly changing. New and existing players are competing heavily with Banks to offer superior and simple payment services. Payment Services Directive 2 (PSD2) is a regulation which profoundly changes the payments landscape in Europe. PSD2 was approved in 2015 and will come into force in 2018. The RTS on Strong Customer Authentication and Common and Secure Communication has been endorsed May 2018, coming into force 18 months later, will further detail PSD2 on the most important topics: “Access to the Account”.
PSD2 will allow (non-)banks players (Third party providers, TPPs) to access account information [transaction history and more] and initiate payments on behalf of the customer. This will impact the banks significantly: banks need to adapt their business model, IT, organisation and the way they look at the customer relation.
ING has initiated a program to develop such services for ING globally, both for wholesale as for retail customers. ING Wholesale Banking / Transaction Services leads the transition with the design and the implementation of the PSD2 proposition and all underlying required processes, products (APIs), and communication to get have all our European customers get “Access to Account” via TPPs within one year. PSD2 is the front runner for ING’s Open Banking developments. If you want to work in the field of Open Banking and PSD2, on an European scale, please submit your resume.
