Standards & Specifications

Open Finance in Liechtenstein

Liechtenstein implements PSD2 as an EEA member state, with the Finanzmarktaufsicht Liechtenstein (FMA) overseeing compliance. As a major private banking and wealth management center, Liechtenstein's open banking implementation has particular relevance for high-net-worth financial services.

The country's progressive approach to financial technology regulation, including the Blockchain Act (TVTG), demonstrates its commitment to digital innovation. Banks including LGT, VP Bank, and Liechtensteinische Landesbank provide PSD2 APIs.

While Liechtenstein's population is small, its financial sector is disproportionately significant, and open banking APIs have the potential to enhance wealth management and cross-border financial services.
