Open banking and open finance have dominated 天涯海角社区鈥檚 coverage this year, due to the US leap forward on open banking with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) finally issuing compliance requirements for banks and payments firms alike on data sharing, the UK government giving a nod to the potential of open banking and open finance in the National Payments Vision, and the EU鈥檚 progression with the Financial Data Access (FiDA) framework.

Unsurprisingly, considering the EU鈥檚 Digital Operational Resilience Act鈥檚 enactment in January, operational resilience was another topic that never strayed far from the headlines. Instead of having a brat summer, many compliance officers were slaving away in Europe on their plans for how to comply with burdensome and prescriptive rules related to ICT risk management and critical third party providers. Next year, DORA moves from the planning stages to an actionable compliance framework, and firms will need to be ready for Europe鈥檚 new normal.

In Europe, deliberations over what comes next for the Payment Services Directive (PSD2) and the implications of that for the payments industry, continued to dominate 天涯海角社区鈥檚 most read reporting. This included looking at topics such as the adoption of a position by the European Parliament on PSD3 and the Payment Services Regulation (PSR) and how a top EU court has effectively changed the game for payments and e-money institutions in the EU.

Last but not least, how could we forget the topic of fraud? As with previous years, it has been a constant for firms as they grapple with not only increasingly complex scam processes, but also new, tougher requirements from government and regulators in countries globally, most notably with the Payment Systems Regulator in the UK creating mandatory reimbursement rules for authorised push payments.
