The future for payments policy - infrastructure, regulation and consumer priorities
Description
This event is CPD Certified
Bringing together key policymakers and stakeholders from across the
financial services sector, this timely conference will discuss the
future for payments policy and regulation in the UK.
Delegates
will assess the future of proposals set out in the European Commission’s
recently revised Directive on Payments Services (PSD2) - particularly
relating to the UK’s position in light of the EU Referendum - following
the publication of the European Banking Authorities finalised Regulatory
and Technical Standards on passporting under PSD2 later this year. The
seminar will also consider the impact of the Financial Conduct
Authority’s current consultation on the guidance provided to firms in complying with the future payment services regime.
Planned
sessions focus on next steps for facilitating innovation and
competitiveness across payments markets, whilst also ensuring adequate
safeguards for consumers - particularly in terms of payment security and
tackling financial fraud. Delegates will also have the opportunity to
consider latest challenges in developing competitiveness in UK payments
infrastructure, in light of the Payment System Regulator’s ongoing
market studies on indirect access and ownership of payments systems.
Speakers
and other delegates at this conference are expected to be a senior and
informed group including Members of both Houses of Parliament, senior UK
and European officials, together with academics, banks, building
societies, charities, commentators, consultants, consumer groups,
infrastructure providers, intermediaries, lawyers, merchant acquirers,
money remitters, payments service users, payments system operators and
technology firms, as well as members of the national and trade press.
At this early stage we are delighted that Andrea Enria, Chairperson, European Banking Authority
Sarah Francis, Consultant, Polymath Consulting; Fiona Ghosh, Partner, Payment Systems Group, Addleshaw Goddard; Simon Grossman, Vice President, Regulatory and Public Policy, MasterCard; Jeremy Light, Managing Director, Accenture Payment Services; Carl Packman, Research and Good Practice Manager, Toynbee Hall and a speaker confirmed from Bacs have also agreed to speak.
