Abstract: Regulating authorised push payment fraud: how did we get here, and where are we heading? APP fraud is the most prevalent fraud in the UK, causing significant consumer detriment and costing substantial amounts to the UK economy. To tackle the problem, the Payment Systems Regulator adopted mandatory reimbursement rules that entered into force on October 7, 2024. The talk discusses the background of the mandatory reimbursement rules: the Which? Super Compliant, the Contingent Reimbursement Model Code 2019, the Financial Services and Markets Act 2023, and most importantly, the PSR Specific Direction 20 that laid down the new rules.
