New technologies demand new insights.
PSD2 is not limited to the directive itself. A substantial part of the regulatory framework is set out in various Guidelines and Q&As issued by various supervisory authorities.
These measures provide the operational detail behind PSD2’s core requirements. They cover, among other things, safeguarding, remuneration, outsourcing, customer authentication and deeper understanding of important definitions.
The regulatory landscape is still developing. New measures are adopted, finalised or updated on an ongoing basis. Keeping track of the full framework can therefore be challenging in practice.
To support clients and other market participants, we have developed the tracker below. This tracker provides a structured and up-to-date overview of all relevant Q&As and Guidelines under PSD2.

“It is common to be spinning many plates when establishing a start-up. What I consider most important from a collaboration with a lawyer is: reassurance. So that I can sleep at night. And that is what I got.”

“They really dare to take steps. This often concerns untapped subject matter. You can count on them taking a position that can later be defended”
Tech sector consultant
“They are very proactive, and they are pre-emptive when it counts, they radiate this. They are on point. We see things the same way: transparent, direct, know what to expect from each other, we both want to build something. They are so much more than lawyers. And if they don’t know something, they do their homework. They are terrific at that.”
