EBA Academy - short training modules
Since 2026, the EBA offers three advanced short training courses to complement the Payments from A to Z course and to deepen the understanding of important, specific areas of the European payments landscape:
- PSD3/PSR (1 day)
- Liquidity and cash management module (1 day)
- Tokenisation of money and digital assets module (1.5 days)
PSD3/PSR module
The Payment Services Directive sets the framework for the provision of payment services throughout the European Union. It has been a long journey, but with the final compromise texts having been published, we have an excellent view on what can be expected in the latest reform, which is predicted to be adopted in the tail end of 2026.
In this interactive module, payment professionals will learn about the foundations of PSD3 and PSR, enabling them to assess how the impending legislative change will impact their organisations. Licensing requirements, changes to open banking and strong customer authentication, transparency requirements, fraud liability: all will be explored and illuminated through an in-depth breakdown of these complex topics by and for payment practitioners.

Liquidity and cash management module
“Every payment begins with liquidity.” Our training provides a comprehensive exploration of liquidity management by examining its significance for both corporations and banks. It sheds light on the shared challenges and strategies facing banks and corporates in achieving financial resilience and efficient liquidity management and demonstrates the interconnectedness of liquidity in the financial ecosystem.
The module delves into corporate treasury practices, focusing on cash flow management with suppliers and customers, payment processes, cash allocation, and strategies to ensure operational stability, financial resilience and safeguard continuity. On the banking side, the course investigates approaches to liquidity management, emphasising compliance with regulatory frameworks such as the Liquidity Coverage Ratio, effective handling of deposit withdrawals, ensuring financial obligations are met, and maintaining sufficient liquidity through High-Quality Liquid Assets, the liquidity buffers, highlighting their critical role in financial resilience.
