The FCA have now published CP24/20: Changes to the safeguarding regime for payments and e-money firms.
As many had anticipated, due to poor levels of adoption and implementation, this is a move away from the current safeguarding requirements as set out in the Payment Services Regulations 2017 (PSRs) and E-Money Regulations 2011 (EMRs). Instead, the industry will be required to embrace a more CASS style approach, with the proposed CP24/20 changes drawing parallels with CASS 7, CASS 10 and SUP 16.14; Client Money, CASS Resolution Pack and Client Money and Asset Return, respectively.
The proposed FCA rules will apply to various firm types, such as Authorised Payment Institutions, e-Money Institutions, small e-Money Institutions, small Payment Institutions and Credit Unions however there will be an opt-in, voluntary arrangement for some of these.
Firms have until 17th December 2024 to respond, and they can expect interim CASS 15-chapter rules and guidance by the middle of 2025.
