PRESS RELEASE - Berlin Group is offering support to new European payment schemes

May 25, 2023
1 min read

The European market is facing a multitude of payment methods that all share comparable functionality, but with different customer interfaces, creating implementation challenges (and related costs), especially at bank IT systems. Today the Berlin Group announced in public that its PSD2 Open Banking standards already support new Open Finance schemes (e.g. EPC SPAA and giroAPI), and that additional leverage and support is offered to new payment schemes currently being defined, of which some aim to contribute to European sovereignty and autonomy (e.g. EUDI Wallet, Digital Euro). This makes integration of the new European payment schemes easy for banks and their users (a.o. corporates, SMEs, Fintechs, Third Party Providers). Re-use of the existing PSD2 investments and infrastructures will foster a rapid market adoption of the new European schemes.


As a solid foundation to the industry and with ~80 % European market coverage in implemented PSD2 Open Banking standards, Berlin Group is again leading the way on modern and interoperable API-centric standards for Open Finance and the new European payment schemes. This is considered a substantial contribution to achieving full European sovereignty and autonomy in payments.

I like the straightforward approach used throughout this article. The writer explains the important information without making exaggerated claims or unnecessary statements. Everything feels balanced and useful, which makes the article more trustworthy and enjoyable to read from start to finish.

This was a good article to come across while researching the topic. It provides a clear explanation and covers several important points. I liked the simple writing style because it made the information easy to absorb without needing to reread sections.

It’s hard not to think about how long card payments took to settle on common protocols. If Berlin Group and nexo can agree on APIs before the digital euro launches, the rollout might avoid the messy integration phase that legacy schemes are still wrestling with. Would that also make it easier for non-EU participants to hook in later?

There’s a familiar lesson here: early standards usually beat retrofitted ones. With card schemes, interoperability took years of proprietary battles, so seeing nexo and Berlin Group align before the digital euro gains traction feels like a wiser path. Could those same APIs eventually serve schemes beyond the euro area?

Has anyone here recently explored shreewin game ? I am asking because I have seen the name mentioned in several online discussions and wanted to understand the general user experience. I usually look at practical feedback before trying anything new. Comments about website navigation, account sections, and how clearly information is presented would be much more useful than simple promotional statements or exaggerated claims
