PSD2 still needs to be transposed in the national legal system of all the member countries, and according to my knowledge several countries, including Belgium, have not yet released the draft laws. This creates quite some uncertainty in the market, as there will be several country-specific specifications. Hence one can expect that Fintech’s and other TPPs might already have started their certification application in countries that already enacted PSD2 in their local legislation.

3. Impact of Basel III on notional cash pooling

Increased regulations (Basel III) may stop certain banking products.
All types of events where companies feel a growing need for more bank independency.
