AG webinar slides on FCA standardised terms and definitions for payment accounts

Please email FRteamAG@addleshawgoddard.com, to request slides for our recent webinar. As noted in last week's issue, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has published the final list of the most representative services linked to a payment account and subject to a fee within the meaning of Regulation 3 of the Payment Accounts Regulations. The move is part of the EU Payment Accounts Directive’s goal to improve the transparency and comparability of fee information in relation to payment accounts for consumers. Firms will be required to use the terminology in this list from 31 October 2018.

CPMI publishes strategy on wholesale payments fraud

The Committee on Payments and Market Infrastructures (CPMI) has published its strategy to reduce the risk of wholesale payments fraud related to endpoint security, which aims to encourage and help focus industry efforts to reduce the risk of wholesale payments fraud and, in doing so, support financial stability. The CPMI states that each CPMI member central bank, and the CPMI as a whole, is committed to acting as a catalyst for effective and coherent operationalisation of the strategy within and across jurisdictions and systems, and will monitor progress throughout 2018 and 2019 to determine the need for further action.
