eIDAS Renewal Best Practices Guide

PSD2 Qualified Certificates are valid for two years. The renewal process can be complex and should be conducted with caution and cooperation.

As the European Open Banking industry matures, new challenges arise. One of those is the PSD2 Qualified Certificate renewal. To help face this challenge, Open Banking Europe has created a set of best practices, as suggested by our stakeholders.

PSD2 Qualified Certificates are a crucial instrument to identify TPPs securely and effectively, as they mitigate risks and make Open Banking smoother and safer.

PSD2 Qualified Certificates are valid for two years, meaning that the renewal process is already underway for multiple TPPs. The renewal process can be complex and should be conducted with caution and cooperation.

 

The Challenges of eIDAS Renewal

Renewal Logistics

The earlier certificates may reflect legacy issues around the authorisation numbers.

 

How Can TPPs Face the eIDAS Renewal Challenges?

   

Anticipate

For a smooth and effective certificate renewal process, planning and anticipation are crucial for TPPs.
