PSR's new 50:50 reimbursement model, which will come into practice from 7 October 2024, offers world-leading customer protection against fraud, but at what cost? We're hearing serious concerns from the financial services industry around levels of preparedness and the potential for unintended consequences. Last week we saw the Payments Services Regulator reduce the maximum claim value to £85k, which was a welcome change and was what the industry had been lobbying for. But for medium and smaller sized Fis, this reimbursement amount will still be painful. Fraud losses could literally double over night. How many £85k claims can the smaller organisations take? And will this upper limit encourage fraudsters to focus on higher value scams that are above the radar? With only 4 weeks to go, banking and payment institutions need to be asking themselves: • Do we have the right robust screening in place to cover both inbound and outbound payments? • Are we doing enough to identify and tackle mule activity? • Could we be collaborating and sharing intelligence more effectively with the wider industry to benefit from the collective insight? LexisNexis Risk Solutions can help with inbound and outbound payment screening, mule detection via modelling, intelligence sharing. For a free consultation on your levels of preparedness and to understand more about how we could enhance your fraud intelligence, to make sure you're ready, please click here: 👉 https://lnkd.in/edHRtt-4

Stephanie Cassee is spot on. This is exactly what our customers say, that they have found procurements to be far more successful when there is engagement with suppliers before starting the formal part of the procurement – that way they can better understand the sorts of features and innovations that are available on the market, and which of these can best help them. They can then specify these innovations when the formal part of the procurement is underway, resulting in a solution that better meets the needs of the authority. Councils looking to procure a new EMS, please have a quick look at this short article by my colleague.
