About Fin-FSA

The Finanssivalvonta (Fin-FSA) / Financial Supervisory Authority is the primary financial regulatory authority in Finland responsible for overseeing open banking and financial services. As a National Competent Authority (NCA), Fin-FSA ensures that banks and third-party providers comply with open banking regulations, protecting consumers while fostering innovation in financial services.

SCA Update: On 5 September 2019, the Finnish regulator announced a temporary enforcement extension for Finnish cards. They expect to have additional details on the exact enforcement timeline and milestones later this year.
