The Payment Services Directive Revision

The original Payment Services Directive (PSD) was adopted by the EU six years ago, but an explosion in the ownership and use of smartphones and tablets, and new buying patterns, has taken place since. The Commission has now proposed a new directive to bring the original up to date.

With the directive now under consideration in the European Parliament and Council, Fondation EurActiv is pleased to invite you to a round table debate to explore answers to questions such as:

• Who will be the winners and losers from the PSD Revision?
• How will the new regime gel with the broader aim to create a Single European Payments Area?
• What will payment and EU payment rules look like in five, 10, 20 years' time?
• Will the new PSD promote greater financial inclusion, through innovation in transactions and the EU remittance market?
