Since there is a certain inertia involved, consumers may not necessary want to have their main account (where their salary lands) in Facebook but one can imagine that they setup an auto-transfer link to a payment provider that offers better conditions (interests, bonus) as well as new options for using and receiving money. A remaining issue is still how to define such APIs unless we are talking about a super-provider that effectively sets the standard for everybody else. SEPA took a virtual eternity to develop so a set of "next generation" providers must (in order to get anywhere) come up with a MUCH better collaboration method. If I were involved in such an endeavor I would consider an open source reference system as well as free public servers for interoperability testing. This will still not guarantee success and funding common work by competitors has proven to be extremely difficult so from my horizon the super-provider solution unfortunately looks way more realistic than new fancy APIs :-( Anders > Fred > > Le 22/05/2016 18:52, Anders Rundgren a écrit : >> http://www.chyp.com/post-competition-and-banking-in-a-post-psd2-world/ >> >> I find the Facebook scenario truly fascinating. >> >> A question that comes to my mind is if it is really necessary that >> every social media site becomes a PISP in order to achieve this kind >> of functionality. >> >> Anders >> > >
