Opportunity or threat? The implications of PSD2 for Switzerland

WE ENCOURAGE ALL ATTENDEES TO BECOME MEMBERS OF THE ASSOCIATION - JOIN US TODAY! (https://swissfinte.ch/membership/become-a-member/#account/join)

Dear friends and members,

PSD2 has been attracting quite a lot of attention since being passed by the EU Parliament late last year. Despite all the talk, it is not always clear what PSD2 actually is or, more importantly, how it will impact the banking in Switzerland. Join us for what is sure to be a fascinating discussion about the implications of PSD2 for both established banks, FinTech startups, and Switzerland.

Yours sincerely, John
