This event is reserved for ABBL members and A&O Shearman clients.
The ABBL, in collaboration with A&O Shearman, invites members to a conference dedicated to the upcoming third Payment Services Directive (PSD3) and the new Payment Services Regulation (PSR).
Building on the foundations of PSD2, this new legislative package aims to further harmonise the European payments framework, strengthen consumer protection, enhance fraud prevention and improve open banking across the European Union.
The reform will have significant implications for banks, payment institutions, e-money institutions, fintechs and other participants in the payments ecosystem.
Bringing together representatives from the European Commission, the CSSF, legal experts and leading market participants, the conference will provide both regulatory and industry perspectives on the changes ahead and their practical implications for the European payments sector.
Key topics
Participants will gain insights into:
- The policy objectives behind PSD3 and PSR and the rationale for introducing a directly applicable regulation
- The regulatory perspective on the future European payments framework
- The implications of the new framework for banks and other payment market participants
- Key implementation and compliance considerations
- The market perspective on the changes ahead
- The opportunities and challenges emerging for the European payments ecosystem
