Mike Woods, Chief Executive of Konsentus, commented:
“Konsentus has created a best in market solution to ensure that Financial Institutions only ever provide data to approved TPPs, thus ensuring that they comply with both PSD2 and GDPR. We are delighted to have been selected by Mastercard and look forward to working closely together as the European PSD2 and wider global open banking markets develop. Offering checking of both eIDAS certificates and regulatory status, using data from all EEA National Competent Authorities, reflects the compelling SaaS solution that Konsentus has taken to market”.
Jim Wadsworth, Senior Vice President at Vocalink, a Mastercard company, and leading the development of Mastercard’s Open Banking offering, added:
“Konsentus will be a strategic partner, providing an important element of the overall package of services to help facilitate the creation and development of a vibrant and successful open banking ecosystem. We work with innovative, best-in-class Fintechs around the world to leverage the latest technologies to benefit our customers, and Konsentus is another great example of this approach.”
Together, Mastercard and Konsentus are keen to ensure Financial Institutions have access to the right tools not only to meet their regulatory obligations, but also to enable them to realise the full potential of the open banking opportunity, whilst fully addressing their customers’ growing needs and expectations.

Sometimes our e-mails end up in spam. Make sure to check your spam folder for e-mails from The Payments Association
Most modern e-mail clients now separate e-mails into different tabs. For example, Outlook has an “Other” tab, and Gmail has tabs for different types of e-mails, such as promotional.
For security reasons the link will expire after 60 minutes. Try submitting the login form again and wait a few seconds for the e-mail to arrive.
The link will only work one time – once it’s been clicked, the link won’t log you in again. Instead, you’ll need to go back to the login screen and generate a new link.
Make sure you’re clicking the link on the most recent e-mail that’s been sent to you. We recommend deleting the e-mail once you’ve clicked the link.
Some security systems will automatically click on links in e-mails to check for phishing, malware, viruses and other malicious threats. If these have been clicked, it won’t work when you try to click on the link.
