Comparison Study between Institutional Response to Security Risks of the EU’s Revised Payment Services Directive and Domestic Electronic Finance Regulation

Hyun Boo Kim, In Seok Kim

Abstract


Traditionally banks and other financial institutions use customers’ accounts and information managed by them and provide payment services in dominant positions. Recently, EU amends Payment Services Directive to institutionally guarantee access to customers’ accounts and use of account-related information even to third parties, which facilitates competition in financial markets and promotes innovation. However, this kind of change can increase potential security risks and therefore institutional responses from financial authorities are required so that all participants in financial markets can properly respond to security risks. In this study institutional responses to the security risks in the EU’s new Payment Services Directive (PSD2) are analyzed, comparisons between this and domestic electronic financial regulations are analyzed, and implications for the direction of improving domestic electronic financial regulations will be suggested.
