1. Open banking in
B2B, is it a thing?

2. SLOW TAKE OFF FOR B2B IN EUROPE
Support for business accounts access took
time and is still not working as expected
Several clarifications from EBA were needed
for the support of bulk payments support
24h token validity is still a thing with some
banks (almost over but still…)
Complex mandate setups still not properly
supported

6. What to expect now?
PSD2 is not yet a real game changer for B2B
It’s not going away (SPAA, PSD3, Open finance, …)
Both industry and regulators are not going backwards

MORE CREATIVE
USES OF SCA
BECOMING
VISIBLE
Use SCA as a way to validate account
ownership to setup an online SDD mandate
and reducing SDD fraud
In production for 2 years in Ponto as a
payment method with ”SCA as mandate
signature”
Now seeing others using same technique
(BNP Paribas announcing Worldline
partnership for this specifically)

OPEN BANKING?

Or the growth of the lowcode/nocode

for Ponto 😅)

You thought there were too many?
Introducing DORA, AML, NIS2, PSD3, Open

What about the interplay of all these?

MORE SANITY IN

The Cambrian explosion seems to be over
The race to the bottom seems to be behind
us
Investments across industries have
plummeted
Most Fintech startups need to find
sustainable models now
