Open Banking and the magic illusion of 24x7 availability

“The more things change, the more they stay the same.” The wisdom in this old adage appears to ring true when applied to the early phases of the evolution of Open Banking (or open payments).

PSD2: The real RTS deadline is closer than banks think

Let’s work backwards. Most banks know that the final deadline to comply with PSD2’s Regulatory Technical Standard (RTS) is 14th September 2019. Eleven months away.
