SUMMARY:APP Fraud and Cross-Border Payments
DESCRIPTION:There has been much discussion over the past year on the rise in APP fraud\, and the potential impact of the regulations designed to combat it. The conversation often revolves around domestic payments\, however cross-border transactions are also at risk. From unmanageable financial losses\, to operational disruption and from confusion over liability and implementation to jurisdiction\, what are the unintended consequences playing out across the cross-border payments supply chain?  \nThis webinar\, in partnership with Payall will explore:   \n\nThe scale of the APP fraud problem in cross-border payments. Which customer groups are most at risk? What routes and platforms are fraudster targeting? \n\n\nHow well do the new UK rules align with regulations in other regions? What approaches are being taken on APP fraud elsewhere?  \n\n\nHow are firms navigating the regional differences? What do regulators need to provide to support and offer more clarity to firms?  \n\n  \nSpeakers \n  \n  \nAgenda \n15:00 Housekeeping & Moderator introduction  \n15:05 Scene setting from Gary Palmer   \n15:20 Panel & Q&A  \n16:00 Webinar finish

SUMMARY:Financial Crime 360 Workshop: Exploring the Relationship Between Open Banking and Fraud
DESCRIPTION:Please note: You must be registered for Financial Crime 360 to attend this event. If you aren’t registered for Financial Crime 360\, your registration will be declined. \nThis interactive workshop aims to examine the interplay between the rise of open banking in the UK and the growing concerns and losses from fraud. Participants will discuss the increase in fraud levels\, the key threats and challenges\, new fraud prevention initiatives and best practices\, plus the impact of changing liability rules. \nOpen banking has driven financial innovation in the UK but has also introduced new fraud risks. Some financial institutions fear the risks may outweigh the rewards\, particularly with rising cases of Authorised Push Payment (APP) fraud and new liability rules. Indeed\, according to The Payments Association’s Financial Crime 360 findings\, 80% of participants in open banking listed fraud as the biggest challenge defining financial crime in the next 12 months. The Digital Information and Smart Data (DISD) Bill aims to address some of these concerns by strengthening data-sharing frameworks and introducing smart data schemes to secure consumer data and enhance fraud detection. \nJane Jee and Jan Van Vonno\, TPA’s open banking and financial crime working group leads\, and TPA Ambassador Mark McMurtrie will facilitate these discussions with a range of TPA members who have in-depth knowledge and interest in open banking and financial crime. \nJoin the workshop to discuss: \n\nKey findings from the Financial Crime 360 survey\nThe major threats and challenges\nThe status of industry initiatives\nNew ways to strengthen fraud prevention including through greater data sharing\, tools and technologies\nThe impact of new regulations and regulatory guidance\nHow the UK can maintain a market leadership position\n\n  \nAgenda \n\n09:30 – Welcome remarks from Working Group Leads\n09:40 – Interactive roundtable discussions\n10:20 – Conclusions shared\n10:30 – Closing remarks & finish\n\n  \n*Complimentary breakfast\, teas and coffees will be served during this event.

SUMMARY:Roundtable: The FCA’s changes to the safeguarding regime for payments and e-money firms
DESCRIPTION:This is a 90-minute virtual roundtable focused on the FCA’s new safeguarding consultation launched in September 2024 – you can find the consultation paper here – https://www.fca.org.uk/publication/consultation/cp24-20.pdf   \nThis session will cover the FCA’s new proposals to rules over the protection of customer funds held by payments and e-money firms\, including monthly reporting and expanded audits. The roundtable will be led by members of TPA’s Regulatory Working Group.  \nThe FCA’s safeguarding reforms could significantly impact how payments and e-money firms operate\, through increased compliance obligations. With interim rules due to be implemented six months after publication and end-state rules to follow 12 months later\, this roundtable offers the chance to stay ahead of the curve\, ensuring your firm remains compliant and prepared for these operational changes.  \nWe are holding this session exclusively for TPA members to go through the questions posed by the FCA.  \nThis is your chance to ensure that your views and concerns can be represented effectively by our organisation when responding to the FCA.  \nIn terms of individuals\, compliance officers\, senior management\, legal teams\, risk managers\, and financial professionals working within payments and e-money institutions. It will also benefit anyone responsible for implementing safeguarding measures or overseeing customer fund protection.  \nGain a clear understanding of the FCA’s new safeguarding proposals\, including monthly reporting requirements\, the introduction of resolution packs\, and statutory trust over safeguarded funds. This will also be an opportunity to share insights and inform TPA’s response to this consultation.  \n\nDate: Thursday\, 21 November 2024\nTime: 11:30 – 13:00 GMT\nWhere: Online (Zoom)

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.

SUMMARY:The PSR & TPA explore: what's next for VRPs?
DESCRIPTION:On Thursday 28 November (from 11:00 to 12:30)\, the PSR will be hosting an event at their offices that will explore what’s next for VRPs\, particularly around pricing. In line with its 2023 consultation and 2024 response document\, the PSR is developing its thinking around what pricing arrangements should be in place for the Phase 1 expansion of VRP to lower-risk use cases. \nAs part of its consideration of options\, the PSR is interested in meeting ecosystem representatives to gather their views on how Phase 1 pricing can be unlocked (and how it could be unlocked\, for instance\, through any industry-led approach). Attendees should be members of the VRP ecosystem and include banks\, PISPs and merchants. By attending\, firms with an interest in VRP expansion will be able to share their views directly with the PSR and help a Phase 1 roll-out take place as soon as possible. \n**Please note there are only 15 spaces available at this in-person event. This is one attendee per member company. Your ticket may be declined if someone from your company is already registered. If this is the case\, please get in touch with malik.smith@thepaymentsassociation.org to discuss who you would like to attend.
