The PSD2 service supports various AISP and PISP use-cases under PSD2, including support for end-user consent and dynamic linking. In contrast to the Fraud Data and TINFO serviceservices, note that the PSD2 service does not implement any associated Resource Server. PSD2 resources are made availble to AISP/PISPs over an API decided by each ASPSP.
