While the U.S. financial system is remarkable in its size, scope, complexity, creativity and resilience—it must improve for the U.S. to remain the global leader in financial services that fuels both our own economy and, by extension, much of the world’s. We need to incentivize financial institutions to modernize outdated software to deliver new products faster, leverage new tech like AI, and better defend against a growing number of external threats.

On one end, a business wants to employ rigorous underwriting and other strong fraud prevention methods to preserve card network relationships and brand integrity; on the other, the business wants to provide a smooth customer experience and minimize operational costs to increase revenue.

Grayscale Investments has requested approval from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to convert a fund that tracks multiple cryptocurrencies into an exchange-traded fund. The crypto manager’s Digital Large Cap fund holds over $524 million in assets, with more than three-quarters invested in bitcoin. Roughly 18% of the fund is allocated to Ether, while the remainder is divided among Solana, XRP, and Avalanche. While bitcoin and Ether ETFs have been approved by the SEC, this would be the first time other tokens are included in a spot ETF.

Unsurprisingly, respondents identified the top challenges for accounting firms as maintaining compliance with regulations and tax laws and driving profitability for both their firms and clients in the face of high interest rates and inflation. “What was surprising was that in contrast to a common narrative, accountants don’t view AI as competition,” Ted Callahan Accountant Leader at Intuit said. “Only 9% of the respondents said they were concerned about AI replacing their job. Instead, they felt that embracing technology would help them boost their efficiency and improve their client service.” #AI #accouting #payments #technology #regulations Intuit QuickBooks

In 2021, the Government of Canada passed the Retail Payments Activities Act, which required the Bank of Canada, the nation’s central bank, to begin overseeing payment service providers (PSPs). Under the legislation, Canadian PSPs—along with any entities involved in the electronic transfer or storage of funds—must register between November 1 and 15. In preparation of these new regulations, Ron Morrow, Executive Director of Payments, Supervision and Oversight at the Bank of Canada, spoke with Brian Riley, Co-Head of Payments at Javelin Strategy & Research in a recent PaymentsJournal podcast. They discuss how and why PSPs should ensure they are ready to comply with the upcoming requirements.

To alleviate the inflationary pressure on consumers and small businesses, the Australian government has announced plans to ban interchange fees on debit card purchases. The Australian central bank estimated that debit card surcharges cost customers A$1 billion ($671 million) per year. Debit card usage has picked up steam in the country since the pandemic, with the central bank reporting that less than 12% of retail transactions in Australia are made with cash.

For a while, the prevailing idea was that there could be a gradual transition to ISO 20022, which led to a lot of wait-and-see approaches. Many participants were happy to let the first movers go in and see what the reaction was. By this point, that luxury is gone. The next step will involve actually using the data that will be included with these payments. The true winners in the ISO 20022 revolution will be those that can make the best use of all that data. “Start thinking about how you can leverage this new data to monetize the data and provide it to your customers,” Laura Sullivan, Senior Product Manager at Form3 said. “ISO is not going to make you money in and of itself, because you have to continue receiving the payments. But never stop asking yourself: What are those killer apps?” Read more: https://ow.ly/2XRF50TMJ3t #payments #ISO20022 #FedNow #RTP #financialmessaging
