If you look into the work performed by the Financial API WG (FAPI) which is underpinning (or inspired) most of the Open Banking APIs, you will note that it is 90% about security solutions.

There are no visible relations between http://w3c.github.io/payment-method-credit-transfer/ and FAPI.  Shouldn't this work item rather be rebooted or be converted into W3C note?

Regarding the UX, the current recommendation among the UK implementers is to use push notifications and embedded authentication through mobile banking apps:

IMO, the lack of a credible Desktop/Web + Mobile wallet/whatever solution remains a major hurdle for the adoption of PaymentRequest.  The Open Banking Wallet [*] use QR codes but this solution bypasses PaymentRequest.
