And while this is great for digital payment providers (and the taxman), merchants must now ensure their business models and payment methods are in line with consumers’ cashless expectations.

The letter ended with a stern warning – “we will act swiftly and decisively if you fail to meet our expectations” – but what are some of the key areas raised and what do they mean for EMIs and PIs?
