#PSD2: The Final Chapter?

I have updated my article for the SCL on the differences between the Payment Services Directive (PSD) and the latest compromise text of PSD2, produced following informal negotiations amongst the European Parliament, Council and the Commission.

FCA Consults On Rules for Banks' #SME Loan Referrals and Credit Data

The Financial Conduct Authority is consulting on rules relating to banks' obligations to release information about credit performance to credit reference agencies; and the referral of their rejected small business loan applications to 'designated finance platforms'. 

The proposals are in Chapter 6 of the FCA's current quarterly consultation.

The FCA will have a limited supervisory and enforcement role in relation to these obligations.

The consultation ends on 5 August 2015.
