Banks, clearing houses, corporations, companies, technology firms, consultants and academics are all talking about SEPA (the Single Euro Payments Area) and the PSD (Payment Services Directive), and have been since 2000. This book, with contributions from leading figures in banks, corporates, and industry bodies, looks at the payment landscape post-SEPA and the PSD. How will systems have changed? What will it mean to banks products and pricing? How will it change the corporate supply chain? Who will be winners and losers? What strategy should companies employ to benefit from the new regulation? The book includes contributions from leading SEPA experts at SWIFT, IBM, Clear2Pay, Citigroup, JPMorgan, ABNAmro, the European Payments Council, the Euro Bankers Association, Barclays, Royal Bank of Scotland, Deutsche Bank, ING, TWIST, and the European Commission.
