SUMMARY:Operational resilience: CrowdStrike chaos and how to plan for disruption
DESCRIPTION:The significant disruption caused by the recent CrowdStrike failings has brought operational resilience to the forefront of the payments industry’s attention. How can firms prepare for similarly destabilising events to avoid operational breakdown? \nThe next 6 months for payment firms will be crucial as they must meet the FCA’s March 2025 deadline for operational resilience and align to new regulations involving critical third parties. Across the channel\, the DORA framework comes into play in January and will also ask impact financial institutions operating in the EU. \nAlison Donnelly\, TPA’s Regulatory Working Group Lead & Director at fscom\, and industry experts will be explaining the history of operational resilience regulations up until the present\, using FCA timeline from 2022 – 2025 March deadline. They will be breaking down how operational resilience regulations apply to all firms that host critical third parties and discuss what it means to be compliant\, delving into various scenarios to demonstrate how the regulations could apply. \nJoin the webinar to: \n\nReceive practical advice on how to tackle regulatory requirements and potential risks when relying on external service providers\, including establishing a roadmap\, ow to avoid misunderstandings of the current regulations and how that might affect operations\, and how to use resources effectively to satisfy the FCA.\n\nNote the challenges in effectively mapping out the processes\, technology\, people etc. of third parties.\nLearn how regulators might approach enforcement\nDiscover how the UK approach compares to DORA. Is there more that needs to be done outside of DORA?\n\n  \n14:00 Welcome remarks  \n14:10 Introduction to past and current regulations  \n14:30 Panel Discussion with Live Q&A  \n14:55 Closing remarks \n15:00 Finish \n  \n

SUMMARY:The Evolving World of Wallets
DESCRIPTION:The UK is undergoing a ‘seismic shift’ in how people pay (Nikhil Rathi\, CEO\, FCA)\, with wallets on the rise to become the default payment type for many. This raises questions around interoperability\, infrastructure and regulation and the strategic opportunities for payments organisations. When non-financial services like Apple Pay\, Google Pay and Paypal have the strongest hold on the wallet market\, what does the evolution of wallets say about the changing payments landscape?  \nJoin this expert panel for insight into:  \n\nAre wallets at a popularity tipping point? Why now? \n\n\nWhat do businesses need to consider when building or adopting wallets into their offering? What infrastructure needs to be in place? \n\n\nHow well does current regulation support the development of digital wallets?  \n\n\nHow does the evolution of wallets intersect with other emerging models and revenue streams such as embedded finance? \n\n\nWhat could the growing uptake of wallets mean for the rest of the payments industry? Who are the new players to watch out for? \n\n  \n14:00 Welcome remarks from moderator  \n14:10 Panel Discussion with Live Q&A   \n14:55 Closing remarks  \n15:00 Finish   \n  \nConfirmed Speakers
