Question35 Open Banking initiatives, such as those mandated by PSD2 in Europe, primarily aim to transform the payments landscape by: Enabling third-party financial service providers to securely access customer data and initiate payments with consent. Forcing all banks to adopt a single, government-approved mobile banking application for their customers. Prohibiting traditional banks from offering any digital payment services to ensure fair competition with FinTechs. Centralizing all payment processing through a single national authority to reduce fraud. ResetMaximum marks: 1 Flag question undefined

Question

1. Relevant knowledge points and concepts
Open Banking (exemplified by PSD2 in the EU) creates a regulatory framework that (a) defines third-party provider roles — Account Information Service Providers (AISPs) and Payment Initiation Service Providers (PISPs), (b) mandates banks expose secure APIs so these TPPs can access customer account data or initiate payments, and (c) requires customer consent and strong customer authentication (SCA) to protect security and privacy.

2. Step‑by‑step reasoning
- PSD2’s text and implementation guidance explicitly focus on enabling competition and innovation by allowing customers to grant authorised TPPs access to their payment accounts.
- Banks are required to implement APIs (or equivalent secure interfaces) that permit AISPs to read account information and PISPs to initiate payments on behalf of consenting customers.
- The framework includes technical and legal requirements (registration of TPPs, consent records, SCA) to ensure security while enabling access.

3. Calculations / intermediate steps
No numeric calculation is required; the logical derivation is:
- Goal of PSD2 = increase competition + consumer choice.
- Mechanism = regulated API access for authorised TPPs + consent + SCA.
- Outcome = third parties can access data/initiate payments → matches option 1.

4. Why the correct answer is correct
Option 1 precisely states the sanctioned mechanism of Open Banking: secure access by third parties and payment initiation with customer consent. This is the core policy intent and the operational effect of PSD2 and similar Open Banking initiatives.

5. Why the other options are incorrect
- Option 2 (single government-approved app): PSD2 does not mandate one app; it mandates open access interfaces, leaving service provision to banks and TPPs.
- Option 3 (prohibiting banks from digital services): PSD2 promotes competition but does not bar banks from offering digital payments; banks remain providers and must cooperate with TPP access.
- Option 4 (centralizing processing): PSD2 decentralizes access via APIs; it does not centralize payment processing under a single national authority.

6. Conclusion
All points confirm the correct choice is: Enabling third-party financial service providers to securely access customer data and initiate payments with consent. This matches the provided answer.
