SUMMARY:The practicalities of safeguarding: Where misunderstandings come from and how to prepare for worst case scenario
DESCRIPTION:As noted in their letter earlier this year\, good safeguarding practice in payment and e-money institutions continues to be a source of concern for the FCA. The legislation is not new\, but variation in interpretation of not only the initial the requirements but what actions to take when an issue does arise is a risk to both the industry and to customers.   \nSo where are the common pitfalls that organisations fall into? What does the administrative process look like from the inside\, and what learnings can we take from times where it didn’t go as planned?  \nThis webinar will explore where the common areas of misunderstanding arise\, learnings from audit experiences and how the next iteration of the rules could be improved.   \nJoin this interactive webinar to hear from experts on:  \n\nSuccesses and failures of the current legislation – where is further clarity needed? What gaps should the new legislation cover (e.g. cross border account chains)? \nInternational legislation trends around safeguarding and how that could influence or impact in the UK. \nBest practice for meeting the current requirements. \nThe insider view on how and why things go wrong during audits and administration and good governance for preparation in case of failure \n\n  \nAgenda \n14:00 Welcome remarks and introduction  \n14:15 Panel Discussion with Live Q&A  \n15:00 Webinar finish  \n  \nSpeakers

SUMMARY:The Payments Association Regulations 101 - Online Training Course\, November 2023
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.

More than 20 years in financial services and technology made her believe in change through innovation & partnerships.

She likes engaging on social media and regularly addresses global audiences as a keynote speaker or chair person. \n  \nTestimonials: \n\nAn entertaining and engaging course.\nReally informative\, real life examples and news feeds which give you an overview of how companies are dealing with certain regulations.\nIt was a very good course with a very good speaker with a lot of knowledge about the subject. I would definitely recommend this.\nVery informative and managed to neatly pull together the strands of the regulatory environment in a digestible way. I would recommend the course to compliance professionals or senior managers who need to understand the breadth of regulation that impacts the payments industry and their firm.\n\nThis course is CPD accredited.

SUMMARY:It’s time to change the status quo in cross-border payments
DESCRIPTION:Cross-border payments are perceived as inherently high risk due to reliance on manual process and lack of transparency among the players. This has created knock on effects (slow\, expensive and limited services) for senders and recipients of cross-border payments; a complicated and burdensome regulatory environment that fails significantly in meeting its goals to stop international money laundering and other nefarious acts; and\, ultimately\, a lack of competition and innovation — continuing the cycle.    \nThese challenges are not new – cross-border payments have at their core been the same for 50 years. What is needed then is a new approach\, a practical reimagining of how cross-border payments should work\, and from there the development of technology and solutions to make it happen. How do we build a coherent cross-border infrastructure that solves these very real pain points while encouraging innovation\, efficiency\, and healthy competition – not in five or 10 years\, but now?   \nIn this interactive webinar\, our panel of experts will tackle this question\, with a practical discussion including:    \n\nWhat’s the risk inherent in the cross-border payment status quo – for originating institutions\, correspondent banks and regulators/government?  \nHow do we create an environment that changes regulators’ mindset about the risk profile of cross-border payments?   \nWhat are the new and developing technologies driving automation and efficiency and how can they be actively applied to cross-border payments? How can we create layers of trust and build transparency? \n\nAgenda: \n14:00 Welcome remarks and introduction  \n14:05 Fireside chat  \n14:20 Panel Discussion with Live Q&A  \n15:00 Webinar finish  \n  \nSpeakers:
