## Source summary

Bird & Bird partner Scott McInnes says the near-final PSD3/PSR package would tighten open-banking interface and enforcement rules, expand fraud-information sharing and liability, and adjust strong-customer-authentication responsibilities. He expects PSR to apply 21 months after publication in the EU Official Journal, with the same period for national PSD3 transposition, subject to formal adoption.

## Why it matters

PSPs may need to redesign open-banking interfaces, authentication journeys, fraud controls, reimbursement processes and contracts across EU markets. This is expert interpretation of near-final legislation; exact obligations and dates remain subject to formal adoption and Official Journal publication.

## Key numbers

- **PSR application and PSD3 transposition period after publication:** 21 months
- **AISP strong-customer-authentication interval discussed:** 180 days
