PSD3/PSR Compliance Payment Services Directive and Regulation 3

Navigate the evolving payment security requirements. We provide specialized guidance for payment service providers to meet the operational resilience, open banking, and fraud prevention mandates of PSD3 and PSR.

Understanding PSD3/PSR

PSD3 and PSR represent the EU's next-generation payment services framework, building upon PSD2 with stricter security, operational resilience, and consumer protection requirements.

The new framework introduces more rigorous ICT risk management, enhanced Strong Customer Authentication (SCA), expanded open banking obligations, and improved fraud prevention measures.

Payment service providers must demonstrate robust operational resilience aligned with DORA, implement comprehensive fraud detection systems, and ensure secure API access for third-party providers.
