SUMMARY:The Payments Association Regulations 101 - Online Training Course February 2026
DESCRIPTION:This Regulations 101 training course will cover payments regulations and frameworks (e.g. SEPA\, PSD2\, IFR\, Open Banking\, AML and other financial crime related regulations) as well as privacy and security regulations and standards (e.g. GDPR\, incl. SCHREMS II\, PCI DSS and others)\, and their potential overlaps. \nIt will also give an appreciation of the various types of licenses and permissions (and the relevant regulatory bodies) that need to be obtained by the various players in the ecosystems. Where possible\, it will also give an overview of relevant regulations outside of Europe. \nPayments 101 (or similar experience) is a prerequisite\, as payments fundamentals and terminology knowledge is assumed. We highly recommend attending our Payments 101 course beforehand if you don’t have enough relevant experience in the field of Regulation. \nThe course combines presenter-led sessions and thought-provoking videos. Drawing on real life examples\, it weaves together the underpinning principles of legislation and other rules\, with practical considerations. \nCourse content for Part 1: \nPAYMENTS ECOSYSTEMS RECAP (Cards and non-cards) \n\nEcosystem Recap & Strategic Considerations\nRegulatory landscape overview – where regulations fit in\n\nPAYMENTS REGULATIONS \n\nSEPA: what is it\, where does it all fit in?\nPSD2\, including IFR\nOpen Banking\nAnti-Money Laundering\nAuthorised Push Payment (APP) Fraud Prevention\nCBDC\, Stablecoins\, Crypto & Other Considerations\n\nCourse content for Part 2: \nPAYMENTS LICENSES \n\nAISPs\, PISPs\, Open Banking registration (UK)\nPayment Institution Licenses (API\, SPI)\ne-Money Licenses (EMI\, SEMI)\nPractical Examples (e.g. access to RTGS\, e.g. money remitters\, crypto\, FCA register\, etc.)\nCard Scheme Memberships\n\nSECURITY & PRIVACY REGULATIONS \n\nGDPR (incl. ­EU-US Privacy Shield – Schrems II)\nOnline Harms Bill\n­PCI DSS\n3D Secure\nPractical & strategic considerations (e.g. overlaps with other regulations\, permissions\, etc.)\n\nWho should attend? \n\nThis course is suitable for those who have already attended Payments 101 (or gained similar experience)\, as payments fundamentals/terminology knowledge is assumed.\n\n\nFinTech organisations or technology companies needing to get a grasp on all aspects of payments regulations they are trying to incorporate into their business models\n\nWhat will you gain? \n\nAn in-depth snapshot to the applicable regulations in the payments industry\nBetter understanding of how it all fits together and the ability to ask the right questions\nTake-away reference material you will be able to use for a long time\n\n\nSpeaker: Neira Jones\, FBCS\, MsC\nNeira advises organisations of all sizes on payments\, fintech\, regtech\, cybercrime\, information security\, regulations (e.g. PSD2\, GDPR\, AML) and digital innovation. More than 20 years in financial services and technology made her believe in change through innovation & partnerships.
