Earlier this month, the newly elected Board of the European Digital Finance Association (EDFA) met with Mattias Levin, Acting Head of Unit at DG FISMA, and Andreja Lepen for an introductory exchange and strategic dialogue.
The meeting served as a valuable opportunity to present EDFA’s renewed leadership and strategic priorities, while reinforcing our shared commitment to shaping a resilient, inclusive, and innovation-friendly digital finance framework in Europe.
Key topics of discussion included:
- Advancing the implementation of PSD3, FIDA, and open banking
- Supporting innovation in crypto-assets and tokenisation
- Addressing regulatory opportunities around AI and data usage
- Fostering progress in crowdfunding, financial inclusion, and consumer protection

As a pan-European association bringing together a diverse and representative network of national fintech associations, EDFA is committed to offering practical, bottom-up insights to inform EU policy and regulation. Our ambition is to serve as a constructive partner to the European Commission and supervisory authorities in navigating the next chapter of Europe’s digital finance evolution.
We sincerely thank DG FISMA and the European Commission for the open and forward-looking exchange, and we look forward to continuing this important collaboration.
