The FCA has today published its long awaited policy statement and approach document on the implementation of PSD2.

The Policy Statement confirms changes to the Handbook and Approach Document guidance, and new non-Handbook directions for excluded firms, to reflect PSD2 and the PSRs 2017. This follows the two consultations the FCA issued in April (CP17/11) and July (CP17/22). FCA has made some amendments to its approach following feedback to these consultations.
