Introduction The European Commission is concerned that many payment service firms have escaped regulation under the current Payment Services Directive. One of the main objectives of the new legislation is therefore to bring more firms within the scope of regulation. On 3 April 2014, in the last month of the 2009-14 term, the European Parliament voted to adopt a number of to the European Commission proposals for a recast, better known as the Payment Services Directive ( 'PSD 2'), and its accompanying ( 'the Regulation').

This was not, however, the end of the process of writing these proposals into law; instead, it was just another step in the negotiations over PSD 2 that have carried on since last July. The impetus behind PSD 2 was both to improve the level of consumer protection in place, and also to increase competition. It follows on from the European Commission green paper ‘’ (published in January 2012) and is also part of the wider EU proposal for regulatory reform of payment services, which includes the proposed, covering card fees, account switching, and basic bank accounts. We have summarised the main points of PSD 2 and its accompanying Regulation below.

PSD 2: extension of scope and removal of exemptions Third-party Payment Initiation Services PSD 2 would expressly cover new Payment Initiation Services ( ‘PI services’). PI services are an alternative to card payments offered by companies like PayPal: third party providers that allow consumers to make payments from their accounts, typically by electronic means. This development is intended both to benefit consumers – PI services are currently unregulated in some Member States, but under PSD 2 would be subject to various consumer protection measures – and also PI services as well. PSD 2 seeks to reduce barriers for new market entrants offering PI services; and, in particular, would oblige payment service providers ( ‘PSPs’) such as banks to let their customers use PI services provided by third party providers. It would also oblige PSPs to let their customers use third party Account Information Services: software that displays consolidated information on a consumer’s different payment accounts. PI services would be required to be licensed, registered and supervised, like any other payment institution. They would be subject to their own information and transparency requirements, as well as the new requirements on internet payment security described below.

Other changes of scope and exemptions • Payments via store cards, membership cards, meal vouchers, etc: the ‘limited network exemption’ would be restricted to only those arrangements that “address precise needs”; and, where the monthly volume of transactions exceeds €1m, PSPs must seek express permission from the regulator to use this exemption. • Payments made through commercial agents: the European Commission considered this exemption was being abused; therefore it would be restricted to only commercial agents acting on behalf of either payer or payee; and removed from agents acting for both (e.g.

Some e-commerce platforms). • Cash machines: PSD 2 would remove the exemption for ATM services provided by independent operators – companies that typically charge customers for withdrawing money from cash machines. • Payments for digital content: the exemption would be restricted to low value payments (individual transactions below €50, with a monthly cap of €200) made via providers of electronic communications networks or services such as telephone companies. • Payments outside the EU: while PSD 1only applies to payment services where both the payer’s PSP and the payee’s PSP are located in the EU, some of the transparency and information requirements in PSD 2 would also apply to payments where only one PSP is in the EU ( ‘one-leg transactions’). • Payments in non-EU currencies: PSD 1 only applies to EU currencies, while some of PSD 2’s transparency and information requirements would apply to transfers made in any currency. New consumer protection requirements Liability rules for unauthorised transactions The rules will be further harmonised. In particular, the maximum amount that a customer can be required to pay in the event of an unauthorised transaction would be reduced from €150 to €50.

(This limit would not apply in cases of fraud, or where the payer has “with intent or gross negligence” failed to notify the PSP of losing of a card, or failing to take reasonable security steps.) Additional security requirements for internet payments These would include: • ensuring strong customer authentication for internet payments; • PSPs making an annual assessment of operational and security risks (and the measures they have taken in response); and • in some cases, notifying customers of relevant security incidents. Direct Debits As a general rule, a customer would be able to ask for an unconditional refund within eight weeks of the date on which funds were debited. The PSP would then have 10 days in which to make the refund or explain why it will not do so.
