The PSD regulatory initiative provides a recognized set of rules for all payment services in the European Union (EU) to make cross-border payments easy, efficient and secure for consumers. The European Commission grants PSD licenses to payment service companies who comply with a distinct set of compliance requirements. The Digital River World Payments solution was granted a PSD license by the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority.
"Receiving the PSD license further strengthens Digital River World Payments' market leadership position," said Souheil Badran, senior vice president and general manager of Digital River World Payments. "The PSD license combined with Digital River's more than 15-years of payments experience and industry-leading fraud technologies reinforces Digital River World Payments' standing as one of the most trustworthy payment solutions available in the EU."
