REGULATION AND SECURITY
PSD2
PSD2, the Payment Services Directive, is the European Union’s regulatory framework for the provision of payment services such as account aggregation and payment initiation. As an authorized Electronic Money Institution regulated by the Bank of Spain, Unnax is licensed to provide payment services in Europe.
Unnax Regulatory Services is a licensed Electronic Money Institution registered with the Bank of Spain, registration number 6719.
Data ownership
Up until recently, a customer’s personal financial data belonged to their bank, and was off limits to third-parties. PSD2 shifts the ownership of that data from the bank to the customer. With your customer’s permission, you can now access a trove of personal financial data and leverage it to create all kinds of new, customer-centric products and services.
The opportunity
PSD2 represents an opportunity for all players in the financial industry to improve their product offerings and become more data-driven and more customer centric. The latter isn’t a choice but rather a requirement; Millennials and Gen Z consumers are more demanding and want the financial services they use to be tailored to their needs. Open Banking and personal financial data are the best way to achieve this.
Transform your business
Using personal financial data and programatically-driven payments technologies, businesses can automate many of their processes while creating better customer experiences. Services can be made faster, repetitive tasks can be automated, and customers can get what they want with less touchpoints and effort needed on their part. Complying with PSD2 is an opportunity to undertake the digital transformation of the business.
