The European Banking Authority (EBA) has published a report and accompanying press release, on its review of the regulatory technical standards (RTS) under the Payment Accounts Directive concerning standardised terminology for payment account services. The EBA concludes that the current terminology remains fit for purpose. It acknowledges the growing relevance of instant credit transfers and notes that their inclusion in the RTS may become appropriate in the future, although no immediate changes are deemed necessary. Instead, the EBA proposes revisiting the findings in four years or when significant market or legislative developments occur to ensure the terminology remains relevant and effective.
