citizen?

 Payment Services Directive 2 (PSD2) passed on January 12, 2016
 Must be included in domestic legislation by January 13, 2018
 Among other things, requires that banks open up, through APIs
 Intention is to improve consumer experience
 Some precedent (e.g., Tink), but no longer discretionary
 What does this mean for FinTech and banks?
