I am a senior associate in our Finance & Financial Regulation group and a member of the firm's international payments team.

After much anticipation, the European Commission (EC) has published one week ago, on 28 June, its proposed revisions to EU payment services legislation, as well as a proposal on Open Finance/data access in the financial services sector beyond open banking/payment accounts in the form of a new Open Finance framework called “FIDA”.

The proposals are available here along with other various documents, including Impact Assessments, etc.
