Our Director @AtzeFaas at the @QEDBrussels payments event: #PSD2 helped accelerate innovation and enhance competition, but did not specifically enable them. #Retailers and consumers are not (yet) reaping the benefits of PSD2. We need further standardisation & cost efficiency.

Great initiative! Retail energy-saving tips are communicated to consumers via posters: 'Door closed, shop open!' or 'Lights off at night'
We are part of the solution for the #energycrisis, but as an essential sector, we need help.
