Liability, fraud prevention and the battle over authorisation | ALLES LEGAL #108

🎧 The EU aims to make payments more secure – but what does this mean for liability? Tune in now to episode 108 of Alles Legal – Fintech-Recht kompakt. Tune in now!

Podcast: https://paymentandbanking.podigee.io/737-alles-legal-psd3-psr-haftung-betrugspravention-und-der-streit-um-die-autorisierung/

In this episode, Peter Frey and host Dana Wondra discuss the new liability rules under PSD3 and PSR. The focus: authorised vs unauthorised payments and new EU-wide measures for tackling fraud.

When authorised payments become a liability

The third instalment in our PSD3 series explores how the EU is tackling social engineering – and what this means for payment service providers. For the first time, liability might apply even when a payment was formally authorised, due to identity theft or psychological deception.

New duties and stricter requirements

Peter Frey explains how training, customer communication and preventive measures like the IBAN/name check are becoming central. The burden of proof is shifting, and the tension between security and user-friendliness is intensifying.
