Who is affected by the deadline change?

The target date determines by when payment service providers must integrate with data sharing services. When the date is pushed back, institutions are given extra time for testing and development.

During integration, steps such as authentication, consent management and security testing must be completed. That is why teams should follow their plan rather than rely on the date.

Since new regulations may be issued, the most current text of the communiqué should be followed.
