PSD2- another directive set to change banking as we know it,  will be the focus of another engaging and interactive panel discussion, exploring the opportunities being created by PSD2 and the forward thinking strategies being developed. This topic will be the focus of the event’s opening keynote presentation lead by industry heavyweight, Michael Salmony, Chairman CAPS (Convenient Access to PSD2 Services) & Executive Advisor, equensWorldline.
