Trading platform Tradu, part of Jefferies-owned Stratos Group, has partnered with open banking provider Salt Edge to fully align with PSD2 requirements and improve the way users fund their accounts across Europe.

The move gives Tradu a faster path to regulatory compliance while unlocking real-time bank-to-platform payments — a feature that’s quickly becoming standard among serious trading providers.

What the Integration Delivers:

• Full PSD2 compliance (EU & UK)
  
  
• Secure Customer Authentication (SCA)
  
  
• Bank-level fraud protection
  
  
• Real-time account funding via Open Banking
  
  
• Access to 500+ financial institutions in 20+ countries
  
  

Tradu is now in the final stages of enabling Payment Initiation Services (PIS), allowing traders to top up their trading wallets without cards, delays or redirection — a step that could improve funding rates and user satisfaction.

“Security and compliance are core to our service,” said Tradu’s Product Director Tomasz Stupnicki. “This integration helps us deliver the seamless experience traders expect.”

Faster Funding, Stronger Trust

For prop firms and brokers operating in Europe, PSD2 isn’t just a compliance checkbox — it’s a gateway to smoother onboarding, faster funding, and fewer drop-offs during payment flows.

Tradu’s move puts pressure on other multi-asset providers to modernize their payment stack — especially those targeting retail and semi-professional traders who expect instant, mobile-first transactions.

PropInsider will continue to track infrastructure shifts that impact funding, compliance, and the trader experience — especially across Europe’s regulated markets.
