☕ We change coffee shops, bars, brands of toothpaste and trousers without a second thought. But banks are different. They keep us on a tight leash, throwing up all sorts of hurdles to make our data accessible to others. 💳 Since the PSD2 regulation in 2018 forced banks to open up payments, how far have we really got? European banks are much better at providing consumer-centric open banking services, but there is still room for improvement. Some banks are dragging their heels, while others have embraced the rules with more gusto. 🔎 To get a better sense we looked at the quality of data banks make accessible, how reliable their payment system is and how stable and user-friendly the bank’s interface is. We ranked the quality of API’s across more than six thousand banks in 16 different markets. Today we’re sharing the results. 🏗️ As the European Commission, the European Parliament and Council of the European Union be currently discuss the future of European payments and open banking with the #PSD3 and #PSR1 revisions, there is a huge opportunity to redesign a regulatory environment that enables local fintechs to compete, innovate, and deliver maximum value for European consumers.
