FCA call for input re payment services regime

This Call for Input (CfI) seeks views on existing guidance the FCA published in 2009 to assist firms in complying with their legal requirements under the payment services regime.

  • The Payment Services Approach Document – aims to help firms navigate through the PSRs and our relevant rules, provides guidance on our requirements and, together with our regulatory guides (see Annex 1), sets out our general regulatory approach in this area.
  • Perimeter Guidance Manual (PERG 15) – contains guidance aimed at helping businesses consider whether they need to be authorised or registered for the purposes of providing payment services in the UK.

 

Other documents that may be useful to read for context are listed in Annex 1.

It is important to reiterate that HM Treasury are responsible for the PSRs and the maximum harmonising nature of PSD limits considerably the scope for member states (and competent authorities such as the FCA) to depart from or add to the provisions of the Directive.

This should set the context for the CfI. We seek views on how we have approached the PSRs through the documents above, rather than on the PSRs themselves.

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.
