The Payments Association Regulations 101 Training Course:

Why Regulations 101?

  • This is your one stop shop. Regulations 101 covers the various regulations, standards, slicences and permissions applicable to the payment ecosystems and the relevant regulatory bodies in just 2 days saving you time and brain power deciphering the latest regulatory developments yourself.
  • This course is CPD accredited. You will receive 6 CPD points having attended the course. To receive full accreditation for the course, you must attend the full course.

What you’ve always wanted to know about the regulations in the various payments ecosystems…

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.

It 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. The course combines presenter-led sessions and thought-provoking videos. Drawing on real life examples, it weaves together the underpinning principles of legislation and other rules, with practical considerations.

Payments 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.

I didn't receive an e-mail

Tip: Check your spam

Sometimes our e-mails end up in spam. Make sure to check your spam folder for e-mails from The Payments Association

Tip: Check “other” tabs

Most modern e-mail clients now separate e-mails into different tabs. For example, Outlook has an “Other” tab, and Gmail has tabs for different types of e-mails, such as promotional.

Tip: Click the link within 60 minutes

For security reasons the link will expire after 60 minutes. Try submitting the login form again and wait a few seconds for the e-mail to arrive.

Tip: Only click once

The link will only work one time – once it’s been clicked, the link won’t log you in again. Instead, you’ll need to go back to the login screen and generate a new link.

Tip: Delete old login e-mails

Make sure you’re clicking the link on the most recent e-mail that’s been sent to you. We recommend deleting the e-mail once you’ve clicked the link.

Tip: Check your security policies

Some security systems will automatically click on links in e-mails to check for phishing, malware, viruses and other malicious threats. If these have been clicked, it won’t work when you try to click on the link.

Need to change your e-mail address?

For security reasons, e-mail address changes can only be complete by your Member Engagement Manager. Please contact the team directly for further help.
