    52 Hogan Lovells Open everything and improved security: life after PSD2 PSD2 is a significant piece of legislation, aimed at disrupting the traditional banking and payment services market, improving competition and promoting innovation. One of the ways it does this is by forcing providers to allow access to customer accounts to disruptors who can offer new services to customers by exploiting the wealth of information which can be obtained through access to customers’ account information.

The payments business has proved resilient during the crisis – providing stable and recurring revenue for banks – but it has not remained unaffected by the major changes marking the financial industry as a whole.

Bank supervision is performed by the Financial Sector Supervisory Authority (CSSF). All transactions between residents and non-resident companies must be reported on a monthly basis to the BCL. Resident entities are permitted to hold fully convertible foreign currency bank accounts domestically and outside Luxembourg. Residents are also permitted to hold fully-convertible domestic currency (EUR) bank accounts outside Luxembourg. Non-resident entities are permitted to hold fully convertible domestic and foreign currency bank accounts within Luxembourg. Of the 154 banks operating in Luxembourg, over 90% are foreign-owned; 108 are incorporated under Luxembourg law, while 46 are branches of foreign banks.

  • The European Banking Sector and the Co-Operative Banks
    The European banking sector and the co-operative banks Economic Research Department December 24th, 2008 Preface Co-operative banks perform a strong role in the European economies and the banking sectors. They impact the daily life of almost 160 million citizens. In total co-operative banks have more than 4,000 local and regional banks, approximately 60,000 branches, 49 million members and they employ 750,000 staff members. This report provides an overview of the key figures of the co-operative banks and their structures. Many data can also be found in annual reports but a comprehensive overview has so far been lacking. The report goes on to explain the main features of the banking sectors in which the co-operative banks operate. In this way the data and the market positions can be put in perspective. We invite you to read the report and take note of the features, similarities and differences of the banks. We are pleased to answer questions you might have.
