Many are familiar with the alarming rise of APP fraud in the UK due to the flood of documentaries or daily news articles highlighting the human impact of these scams. Take for example, the latest Which? research that highlights that every hour, victims are losing more to bank transfer scams than the average UK worker earns a year. As we celebrate the 2nd anniversary of Confirmation of Payee and a revamped voluntary reimbursement code, the APP fraud problem persists, and most financial losses are still falling onto consumers and businesses. With the latest official fraud statistics due to be published within the next few weeks, it’s time to review and measure how far we have come as an industry.We’ve gathered a panel of industry experts to debate the issues and the expected interventions from the regulator in the industry this year. Join the lively discussion where we’ll cover: What’s the new fraud threat level in the UK and the liability changes ahead?What’s the human impact of APP fraud?How will CoP help and how do we switch it on?How do you build your business case for CoP?What’s mandated next by the regulator? This session will be followed by a live Q&A.

In recent months, HM Treasury and the FCA have started setting out a clear framework for a new regulatory regime for the financial markets which sweeps away many of the compromises of the EU regulations and creates new opportunities for the UK markets to thrive. City & Financial Global’s Future of UK Financial Services Regulation Summit, taking place on 8th February 2022, is a unique forum for senior management in financial institutions to assess the impact of the new regime and position their organisation to take advantage of the opportunities it presents. The summit follows the success of a series of events City & Financial has run over the last three or four years looking at the effect of onshoring the MiFID and MiFIR regimes into UK law and other post-Brexit measures. One of the central issues is, of course, the Treasury’s Wholesale Markets Review. However, the Review is part of a wider overhaul of financial services regulation including the FCA’s various consultations on the Investment Funds Prudential Review, the Listing Regime Review in March 2021 and the Treasury’s consultation on the UK Prospectus Regime in July 2021. Other themes to be covered include those that the Treasury has identified as being important for the City as it seeks to build on its status as a leading financial centre. These include facilitating the recruitment and retention of highly-skilled workers from the EU; maintaining London’s dominant position in fintech, payments and crypto assets; becoming the global leader in green finance; and moving forward with UK-US financial services trade liberalisation.
