SUMMARY:What will incentivise retailers and consumers to switch to open banking?
DESCRIPTION:A recent Forbes article stated that in the next 3-5 years\, 76% of global banks predict that usage and customer adoption of open banking applications will increase by 50%. Open banking certainly improves customer experience and offers a decreased risk of fraud and associated costs. Yet uptake among retailers currently remains slower than desired. \nIn this open banking themed webinar\, join us as we investigate what can be done to assist retailers to make the shift across to open banking. How might the current cost of implementation be impacting takeup\, and do retailers really want to give customers more choice at the point of sale\, which could slow down transaction time and create queues? \nFrom the consumer’s point of view\, we will also discuss payer and buyer protection\, and what kind of protection assurances might be needed to incentivise buyers to switch across to open banking\, particularly for higher ticket items\, in preference to the traditional debit card. \nNow\, join The Payments Association’s latest webinar to hear our senior expert speakers discussing the evolution of open banking. \nAs with most things in the industry\, this will be a collaborative exchange of views so please join us to have your say. Plus\, you will have the chance to have your questions answered live. \n  \nAgenda \n14:00 – Welcome remarks \n\nHelen Child\, Founder\, Open Banking Excellence\n\n14:05 – Fireside Chat: Addressing the elephant in the room: Payer and buyer protection \nExamining the value of open banking payments for the retail industry and identifying the outstanding challenges are that the industry needs to address. \n\nJan van Vonno\, Head of Industry Strategy\, Tink\nHelen Child\, Founder\, Open Banking Excellence\n\n14:20 – Panel Discussion with Live Q&A \n\nHelen Child\, Founder\, Open Banking Excellence (moderator)\nStephen Wright\, Head of Regulation & Standards\, Open Banking\, NatWest Group\nPeter Harmston\, Partner\, Head of Payments Consulting\, KPMG\nJudith Crawford\, Director of Policy and Operations\, Electric Money Association (EMA)\n\n15:00 – Event Ends \n  \n

SUMMARY:How to combat financial crime through data sharing and collaboration
DESCRIPTION:The battle between GDPR/data minimisation and fraud prevention is a tough one to navigate but there is widespread agreement that further collaboration on data is necessary to tackle financial crime. \nThe Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Bill will only go so far towards enabling information sharing between certain businesses for the purposes of preventing\, detecting\, and investigating economic and financial crime. So\, what can the private sector do to expedite progress and how can you protect your business from poor data quality? \nThis webinar\, in partnership with Form3\, Benefactor of Project Financial Crime\, will explore data sharing initiatives and solutions that allow for public-private data sharing\, as well as the risks of low collaboration and siloed data. \nWe will cover: \n\nThe current landscape on data sharing\nHow to deal with the key challenges\, both internally and externally\nCase studies\nThe next tranche of technology to address the problem\nWhat will change by 2025\n\nSince Financial Crime 360\, The Payments Association has hosted a series of webinars on getting to know the criminal\, where the blind spots are in your organisation\, and what role the Big Tech companies should play to help stop financial fraud. \nNow\, join The Payments Association’s latest webinar to hear our senior expert speakers discussing the next steps in being proactive against financial crime. \nQuestions you can expect to be answered: \n\nWhat are the current attitudes towards data sharing and its role in preventing financial crime?\nWhat technology is needed to facilitate date sharing in line with data and privacy laws?\nHow should companies deal with the key challenges\, such as achieving quality internal data and making sure received data is accurate?\nHow will collaboration work in practice\, and what alignments in data capture are needed?\nWhat is working well\, and how do other businesses adopt similar strategies?\n\nAs with most things in the industry\, this will be a collaborative exchange of views so please join us to have your say. Plus\, you will have the chance to have your questions answered live. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Could Digital Currencies pave the way to a more instant\, transparent\, and efficient payments ecosystem?
DESCRIPTION:A world in which we all have the expectation and ability to move money instantaneously\, 24/7\, 365 days a year\, and with full transparency – is it only a pipe dream\, or could digital currencies be one of the paths to unlock such future? With an expectation for the digital currency to promote financial inclusion\, to foster greater competition and better access to money\, what is its potential to deliver not only as a payment method\, but a whole new infrastructure enabling instant and frictionless payments? \n14:00 Chair’s Welcome \nRobert Courtneidge\, Syndicate Director\, The Payments Association \n  \n14:10 Fireside Chat: Digital Currencies and decentralised finance – a catalyst for payments innovation \nRobert Courtneidge\, Syndicate Director\, the Payments Association (moderator) \nSendi Young\, Managing Director\, Europe & UK\, Ripple \n  \n14:30 Panel Discussion: How can digital currencies make payment systems more cost-effective\, competitive\, and resilient? \n\nWhat types of crypto and digital assets are we dealing with\, and which offer most promise now?\nGiven how innovative\, dynamic and competitive current payment system is\, what are the advantages to be gained from the introduction of Digital Currencies?\nWill DLT-based solutions need to outperform existing ones\, or merely provide an effective alternative\, to foster greater competition?\nWhat are the missing pieces of the puzzle for the Digital Currencies to go mainstream?

SUMMARY:The blurred lines of liability – how can all players in the digital ecosystem work together to put a stop to financial fraud?
DESCRIPTION:The ubiquitous adoption of digital technologies and a huge uplift in e-commerce has resulted in unprecedented levels of online financial fraud. The UK alone saw a 71% increase from 2020 to 2021 with £583 million in APP fraud losses\, while the US experienced a 70% increase in fraud losses within a year\, totalling at $5.8 billion. The pressure to safeguard consumers and develop robust cross-sector fraud prevention strategies is mounting. So\, how can banks and big tech work together to tackle this issue and take liability for the part they play in online fraud? Could the ‘’Polluter Pays’’ principle balance the liability scales?  What other models would acknowledge the complexity of the digital landscape and offer fraud protection strategy fit for the digital future? \n14:00 Welcome remarks \nChair: Philip Creed\, Director\, fscom \n14:10 Fireside Chat: \nHow can regulation help tackle the explosion in online financial fraud? Let’s talk about long-term\, sustainable plans for fraud prevention and detection. \nSpeakers: \nModerator – Philip Creed\, Director\, fscom \nMike Haley\, Chief Executive Officer\, Cifas \n  \n14:30 Panel Discussion with Live Q&A: \nHow can banks and big tech work together to get ahead of the fraud problem? \n\nCan the ‘’Polluter Pays’’ framework provide a fairer reimbursement model that suggest joint liability of banks\, digital platforms and telecom operators for their involvement in the fraud ecosystem?\nShould banks label fraud sources?\nHow can Big Tech tighten the screws on the Scammers? Effective verification\, greater moderation\, end to ‘smishing’.\nCross-sector data sharing and fraud identification – implications for data privacy and security\nWhat are the short-term strategies that both banks and big tech can implement now to reduce fraudulent activities and subsequent financial losses?\n\nSpeakers: \nModerator – Philip Creed\, Director\, fscom \nClaire Simpson\, Senior Manager\, Payments Systems Regulator \nDavid Heron\, Head of Standards\, Pay.UK \nAlasdair McFarlane\, Head of Fraud Prevention & Response\, NatWest Group \n  \n15:20 Chair’s Closing remarks \n15:30 Event End

SUMMARY:Know your criminal: where are the blind spots in your organisation?
DESCRIPTION:Fraud is a multi-faceted threat. From deliberate error to organised crime there is no one methodology that can be used to tackle all fraud typologies. \nIf we accept this as the reality\, then how can we empower organisations and more importantly compliance officers and analysts to be good at finding and combatting fraud and to remain ten steps ahead. \nJoin this webinar to hear experts from across the financial ecosystem discuss: \n\nHow has the regulatory environment changed post Brexit?\nIs it better to focus on country specific or global specific AML requirements?\nWill we see an explosion of fraud exacerbated by the cost-of-living crisis? How will financial services cope?\nWhat does good look like? How can compliance officers and organisations do more with less?\nHow can industry drive reg-tech standards?\nWhat are the practical difficulties of implementing reg-tech solutions?\n\n

SUMMARY:Alternative payment methods - where will we stand in 10 years?
DESCRIPTION:The world of payments is constantly evolving\, offering consumers more choice and convenience.

SUMMARY:How to unlock the power of virtual cards to revolutionise corporate payments - October 2022
DESCRIPTION:This webinar is free to attend for anyone who works in payments.  \nVirtual payment cards have the potential to enhance and simplify the payment journey for consumers and companies. The opportunity to offer a seamless integrated payment process using virtual cards has several benefits and is increasing the popularity of this payment solution. Companies cannot afford to continue using paper-based and manually intensive payment processes. \nThe increasing demand for touchless payment options that was accelerated by the pandemic is seeping into the corporate world\, where a host of new integrated payment options are hitting the market. \nVirtual cards are emerging as a popular and easily deployable solution. In fact\, B2B expenditure is expected to make up 80% of the virtual card market by 2025. The global virtual card market is expected to triple by 2025 and reach an estimated spend in excess of $5 trillion. \nSo\, why is it important for financial institutions to include a virtual solution in their commercial card offering? \nA virtual card is a secure way to pay for goods and services without having to issue physical cards to employees. B2B virtual cards improve accounts payable (AP) processes\, benefiting both buyers and suppliers by streamlining day-to-day payments\, providing greater control over cash flows and embedding rich data with payments. These cards have enhanced security\, compared to other credit cards and payment methods. B2B virtual card market is driven by exploding mobile device usage\, as the payment method can only be used for designated scenarios\, such as AP payments and online or mobile purchases. \nThe demand for new and safe B2B payment methods continues to grow as more companies adopt remote work policies and continue to fight fraudulent activity on traditional payment rails. \nHear from industry leaders and subject matter experts about the changing corporate card payments landscape and identify key strategies for future success. \nJoin the event to hear our senior expert speakers discussing corporate card payments\, virtual cards and market trends\, assessing risks and opportunities\, as well as exploring strategies to master this evolving market. Plus\, you will have the chance to have your questions answered. \n

SUMMARY:How to embed the new consumer duty requirements in your product development - September 2022
DESCRIPTION:Speakers \n \nWith more financial decisions now in consumers’ hands\, the changing digital landscape and the global economic crisis we are facing it is the time for us to set a higher standard of consumer protection. \nWith the anticipated confirmation of the new rules in July 2022 and implementation by April 2023\, we have reached the halfway stage of the journey towards Consumer Duty implementation with the aim of raising the standard of care that firms provide to consumers. \nWhile most payments firms will be certain they do put consumers at the heart of their business\, it’s time to consider how this can be evidenced if the FCA asked. If firms act now\, they can capture the evidence that they have embedded the customer centric mindset and approach as expected by the new principle into their current and future change programmes. What should be considered? \nSign-up to learn about: \n\nWhat is the new Consumer Duty\, what will you have to do and how?\nWhat ‘good outcomes’ look like and the meaning behind the principle?\nHow are firms expected to measure success\nWhat evidence does the FCA expect from firms to show that they are making progress with the duty\nWhat Consumer Duty brings as challenges and concerns\, implementation requirements\, and where are the opportunities.\n\nJoin The Payments Association Insights webinar to learn from our senior experts how the new principles and cross-cutting rules will affect your approach to specific customer outcomes\, and responding to the challenges these new rules may present. Plus\, you will have the chance to have your questions answered. \nAs with most things in the industry\, this will be a collaborative exchange of ideas so please join us to have your say.
