“Secure and compliant access to financial data is no longer optional; it’s essential. Collaborations like the one between Salt Edge and Tradu are crucial for enabling innovative platforms to scale confidently while meeting strict PSD2 requirements,” Dan Martalog, Senior Open Banking Solutions Expert at Salt Edge commented.
