After a short consultation period, the Payment Systems Regulator (PSR) has confirmed its decision to reduce the maximum level of reimbursement for the Faster Payments System (FPS) APP fraud mandatory reimbursement requirement from £415,000 to £85,000 per scam claim.
The PSR’s statement confirms that it will implement its FPS APP fraud mandatory reimbursement requirement policy with an initial maximum level of reimbursement of £85,000 per FPS APP scam claim. This is instead of the previous limit of £415,000, which had been set to reflect the Financial Ombudsman Service’s (FOS) maximum reimbursement limit (although this has subsequently been raised to £430,000 by the FOS).
The PSR also confirms that the Bank of England (BoE), as the operator of CHAPS, has decided that the maximum reimbursement for CHAPS will be £85,000.
If you would like to discuss this latest development or any other aspect of the new APP fraud reimbursement requirement, please get in touch with any of the people listed above or your usual Hogan Lovells contact.
