Response to public hearing on the Consultation paper on the amendment of the RTS on SCA&CSC under PSD2

Go back

Q1. Do you have any comments on the proposal to introduce a new mandatory exemption for the case when the information is accessed through an AISP and the proposed amendments to Article 10 exemption?

In general we support the idea for a new mandatory exemption on this point, given the fragmented and non-uniform applications of art. 10 RTS SCA across Europe and the undesired consequences thereof for customer journeys. We appreciate the newly struck balance in security, customer convenience, uniformity, adoptability and operational implementability.

Q2. Do you have any comments on the proposal to extend the timeline for the renewal of SCA to 180-days?

Rabobank has in the past informally and occasionally voiced an even longer timeline than the proposed 180 days to be acceptable from a balanced risk management and customer ease perspective; therefore the 180 days timeline is favourable, provided that the timeline for direct access (i.e. not via an AISP) is also extended to 180 days. This parity, while maintaining the possibility for a shorter timeline for duly justified reasons, is important for the recognisibility and trust for PSUs and to maintain a level playing field.

Q3. Do you have any comments on the proposed 6-month implementation timeline, and the requirement for ASPSPs to make available the relevant changes to the technical specifications of their interfaces not less than one month before such changes are required to be implemented?

A (6-1=) 5 months implementation timeline for ASPSPs should suffice in our view.
