SUMMARY:Disability Inclusion: The Next Frontier in Payments
DESCRIPTION:We’ve made great strides to broaden access to payments options\, including a number of niche products to address specific customer groups. But have we yet considered the accessibility of all of our products and services by implementing inclusion by design? Or are we inadvertently baking in new forms of exclusion as we make assumptions about our digitally native customers? With Consumer Duty upon us\, and the European Accessibility Act coming into force in 2025\, how do we ensure we meet expectations without impacting profitability. Does disability inclusion matter in a B2B context? And where can we go for answers?  \nJoin our panellists as we consider the payments lifecycle from different perspectives\, opening our eyes to the user journey and consider what we aim do to make our industry more inclusive for both the disabled community today\, and our future selves.  \nSpeakers  \n     \n\nModerator: Joanne Dewar\, Ambassador\, The Payments Association and Founder\, Project Nemo \nBen Agnew\, CEO\, The Payments Association\nMike Adams\, CEO\, Purple Tuesday \nKris Foster\, Co-Founder\, Open Book\nWhitney Simon\, Head of DEI Consulting\, Missive

SUMMARY:FCA Complaints Reporting Review deep dive session
DESCRIPTION:We are delighted to provide you with another session to engage directly with the regulator. \nJoin the FCA and TPA policy team on July 4th between 15.00 – 16.00 GMT+1. The FCA has requested us to convene members to discuss the Complaints Reporting Review. \nThe purpose of this engagement meeting will be to focus on the current experiences of firms with respect to the complaints reporting process\, and it’s important you join and have your say. \n  \nBackground\nComplaints Reporting Review: Scope of the project \nThe FCA is undertaking a comprehensive review of the complaints reported by regulated firms. The focus is on the returns themselves and not on the firms that report complaints. \nReasons for the Review \nComplaints are reported by firms across a number of different returns (the main one being DISP 1\, though there are several others). Some firms may currently complete several returns at different intervals (6-monthly and annually). This can present challenges to the firms providing their complaints data\, and to the FCA in seeking to understand the complaints data that firms have provided\, for example: \n·     spotting trends in complaints data on a timelier basis \n·     receiving complaints data which is sufficiently granular\, depending on the size of firm reporting them and the number of complaints reported \n·     whether the frequency with which complaints are reported by different firms affects the quality of reported data and is proportionate for some firms \n·     whether the current reporting process is simple and accessible enough for firms. \nPotential areas for improving complaints reporting \nThe FCA is considering ways in which to tackle the issues above and would welcome firms’ input on their experience of the existing complaints reporting system and on what changes we may want to make\, including: \n·     Consolidating a number of existing returns that a number of firms have to complete into a single return which allows the FCA to capture the most relevant complaints data. The format of the single return will be tested for accessibility and ease of use by firms \n·     Moving away from group reporting to facilitate firms being asked for only relevant data \n·     Potentially increasing the frequency with which data is reported using the consolidated return \n·     Potentially taking a more ‘dynamic’ approach to complaints reporting to be more proportionate with the burden of reporting on firms with no or few complaints\, while ensuring that the FCA receives better quality and more granular data from firms in receipt of more complaints \n·     Considering the current product/service categorisation of complaints on returns and seeking views from firms on how this compares to the categorisation of complaints data on firms’ reporting systems\, and where improvements could be made. \nWhat input does the FCA need from industry? \nThe FCA would value support from firms to help shape the future of complaints reporting. We are hoping your members will have useful insights to share with us that can be incorporated into the reporting process and can provide us with feedback as our proposals develop. We are keen to set up a roundtable with your members in the coming weeks to engage with them and discuss these issues. We would be grateful if you could provide us with details of those members who would be willing to work with us on this. \n____________________________________________________________________________ \n  \n

SUMMARY:Payments Lab: A deep dive into de-banking and de-risking in cross-border payments
DESCRIPTION:This event is a unique opportunity for members to debate de-banking and de-risking and understand the direction it may take within the realm of cross-border payments. Join The Payments Association\, Payall and experts from our Cross Border working group to find out what you can do about the phenomenon of de-banking and how to navigate the volatile environment. \nDe-banking will remain a significant constraint\, impacting both payment providers and the communities they serve\, for many years to come. Our speakers will build on past discussions on de-banking and offer compelling examples of the tech tools available to manage risk and how to navigate regulatory requirements and costs\, as well as conflicting demands. \nIf you wish to submit any questions ahead of the event please email Clara.Cohen@thepaymentsassociation.org \nSpeakers:

SUMMARY:PSR Compliance Monitoring Framework Workshop
DESCRIPTION:The Payment Systems Regulator (PSR) is developing their compliance monitoring framework and wants your input \nThe PSR established its Supervision and Compliance Monitoring Division in 2023. Prior to publishing their compliance monitoring framework they would welcome the opportunity to discuss these plans with TPA members and therefore we will be hosting a webinar to facilitate this. \nYou will have the opportunity to hear from the PSR’s Senior Manager in Compliance Monitoring – Mark Thynne as well as meet Ian Blackwell\, Monitoring Manager at the PSR. In addition to hearing from them\, you will also have opportunity to ask any questions you might have. \nWe hope to bring together key industry participants to explore how the PSR’s new compliance monitoring framework can bring the best benefit to everyone who relies on their payment systems. \nDuring the session\, they’ll: \n\nProvide an overview of the proposed compliance monitoring framework; including their proposed 3 stage approach\nExplore what you’d like to see from the framework and find out what is important to you and your organisation;\nListen to your thoughts on where the PSR may need to give greater focus.
