In recent years, the use of new, innovative services, constituting a convenient alternative to traditional credit card payments or to standard account information services offered by banks has significantly increased. These changes demanded a more inclusive regulation of this market which would guarantee security to consumers and more clarity to the new providers of financial services. The Directive in question along with the Regulation introduce these changes, open the market and extend the regulation to many new providers of financial services.
