Bulgaria enacts the Second Payment Services Directive

Bulgaria

On 9 March 2018, the Second Payment Services Directive (“PSD 2”) was implemented in Bulgaria, as mandated by the new Payment Services and Payment Systems Act (“Act”).

The Act brings significant changes to existing regulations for payments services. As a result of this new regulatory environment, companies will need to assess the impact to their businesses, and quickly usher in changes to comply with the new rules. We will be happy to assist you with any questions or concerns on the implementation of PSD 2 in Bulgaria.
